Indonesia's automakers recorded a 35 percent rise in supplier sustainability programs. Fast chargers made up about 30 percent of public EV units. Ownership costs for a typical compact electric vehicle fall below those of gasoline models past 15,000 kilometers of annual driving.
Key Takeaways
- Indonesia aims for 20% renewable energy share in the power mix by 2025, affecting charging availability and EV cost structure assumptions
- Indonesia’s automakers are transitioning procurement to lower-carbon components; 2024 surveys show a 35% increase in supplier sustainability programs vs. 2021
- China remains Indonesia’s largest source of used cars for many price segments, with 2023 used-car imports dominated by Chinese models
- Indonesia’s average retail fuel price for gasoline in 2023 was IDR 10,000 per liter (approximate), affecting total cost of ownership comparisons vs EV options
- Indonesia’s average retail fuel price for diesel in 2023 was IDR 9,500 per liter (approximate), supporting cost-of-fuel benchmarking for commercial fleets
- EV total cost of ownership for a typical compact EV is projected to become cheaper than gasoline in Indonesia when annual mileage exceeds ~15,000 km/year (model-based estimate in IEA analysis)
- Indonesia’s automotive industry contributes roughly 3% of manufacturing GDP (economy-wide structural estimate used in policy analysis), indicating sector macro importance
- Indonesia’s automotive manufacturing employment exceeded 170,000 workers in 2023 (latest BPS/sectoral labor series), quantifying job scale
Indonesia’s EV and biofuel push is reshaping charging access and total cost of ownership as renewable targets rise.
