- Trends in Electric Motorized Vehicles Here’s the View of Leasing & Insurance Companies
Bisnis.com, JAKARTA — Indonesia will have a significant number of electric vehicles in the next 10 years. Chairman of the Association of Indonesian Financing Companies (APPI) Suwandi Wiratno also said that the trend of electric motorized vehicles would still experience growth going forward.

Furthermore, the potential for growth in the electricity market in 2035 for 2-wheeled cars is projected to be 12 million units and 1 million units for 4-wheeled vehicles.
“The EV market in Indonesia will grow because Indonesia’s population is enormous. If later the availability of electric cars is plentiful, surely they will start to enter one by one.

“In the first semester of 2022, electric motorized vehicles globally experienced a 62 percent increase compared to the first semester of 2021. However, this growth has been slow due to component shortages and the war in Ukraine,” said Bernard. In detail, sales of electric vehicles in the United States (US) and Canada increased by 49 percent for the first semester from year to year. Then China also recorded a growth of 113 percent, with BYD and Tesla as the most contributing brands.
