EV car sales in Indonesia have seen remarkable growth over the past five years, reaching a peak in 2023. Sales of all types of EV cars more than tripled in 2023 compared to 2022. In the first half of 2024 alone, nearly 40,000 units were sold, the majority of which being hybrid vehicles.

The Indonesian government's active support has driven the rapid expansion of the EV market. Key incentives include reducing VAT from 11% to 1% for EVs with over 40% local components, and temporary Luxury Sales Tax reductions for both imported and locally assembled EVs. Furthermore, import duty exemptions are available until 2025 for cars with 20-40% local content and fully-assembled units. Investors benefiting from this incentive must start producing EVs in 2026, matching the amount of vehicles imported from 2024-2025. Indonesia aims to sell 13 million motorbikes and 2 million cars by 2030, with these measures supporting the targets.
