Indonesia's Electric Vehicle Charging Station Infrastructure in June 2024

PT PLN (Persero) is expanding its infrastructure of charging stations to accelerate the electric vehicle ecosystem in Indonesia.

In the first half of 2024, there were 1,582 Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLU) located at 1,131 sites across Indonesia. This represents a 157% year-on-year (YoY) increase from the 616 SPKLUs in the first half of the previous year.

Furthermore, there are 2,182 Public Electric Vehicle Battery Swapping Stations (SPBKLU) and 9,956 Public Charging Stations (SPLU) throughout the country.

In addition to public charging stations, 14,524 home charging units have been installed in the first half of this year, a 334% YoY increase.

"With the increasingly massive growth of EVs, the supporting infrastructure must also be available," said PLN President Director Darmawan Prasodjo in a written statement on Thursday (August 1, 2024).

However, he stated that PLN is open to collaborations to accelerate the energy transition in the transportation sector.

For home charging services, PLN collaborates with Electric Vehicle Authorized Dealers (ATPM) and operates the PLN Mobile application so that every electric vehicle customer can access this service.

Furthermore, PLN is also partnering with various public transportation companies to develop charging infrastructure specifically for electric buses and other electric public transportation.

"Not only private vehicles, but public transportation is now also shifting to electric vehicles. Therefore, PLN provides infrastructure to meet the needs of all people so that they can use electric vehicle transportation comfortably and safely," said Darmawan.
