Agus explained the mechanism for electric vehicles that can get subsidies. Electric vehicle manufacturers must register with the Ministry of Industry the types of vehicles that will enter this program. After that, a verification agency called the Dilership Verifier will carry out verification that is adjusted to the TKDN measurement. All data will be collected.
Later the Ministry of Industry will also coordinate with the Association of State-Owned Banks (Himbara) to re-verify the data that was collected earlier. Replacement payments or subsidies will be given directly to producers, not consumers.
“The buyer comes and the dealer checks the NIK on the KTP. There it will be seen whether he is a potential community buyer entitled to assistance. If after checking in the system he is entitled to assistance, the buyer can immediately get a discount. The dealer inputs according to the procedure and submits an incentive claim to Himbara bank, then Himbara checks for completeness and when finished Himbara pays incentives for assistance to producers. This makes it easier for us to control,” he concluded.
