Jakarta –
The Wuling Air ev electric car is one of the cars that gets VAT incentives from the government. VAT, which is normally 11 percent, is cut to only 1 percent. As a result, the price of the electric car is also cheaper.
Wuling Motors Indonesia Brand and Marketing Director Dian Asmahani agrees with that. Dian explained that the price for Wuling Air ev after receiving a ‘subsidy’ was cut to IDR 26 million.
“For the Standard Range, it saves around Rp. 21 million, for the Long Range it is around Rp. 26 million,” said Dian when contacted by detikOto, last Wednesday (5/3/2023).
Now, Dian revealed that consumers are starting to attack the Wuling Air ev electric car. He said that his party had implemented a price discount according to the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) since April 1, 2023 so that now the price is IDR 21-26 million cheaper.
“How come (the price reduction has started) as of April 1 according to PMK. You can already see the demand has increased,” Dian told detikcom, Thursday (13/4/2023).
According to Dian, the demand for Wuling Air ev electric cars has increased by more than 70 percent. This is compared to the same period in March 2023.
“April 1-13, almost 500 SPK (vehicle order letters) have been received,” said Dian.
With this incentive, Dian has not been able to disclose the sales target for the Air ev electric car. He said his party would look at requests from consumers first.
“What is clear, we have ready stock of goods at this time. Those who are interested can come to the nearest dealer,” said Dian.
For your information, the Wuling Air ev Standard Range normally costs IDR 243 million. This means that with a discount of IDR 21 million, the selling price will be IDR 222 million. Meanwhile, the Wuling Air ev Long Range normally costs IDR 299.5 million. With the VAT incentive, the price for the Wuling Air ev, which can cover a distance of 300 km, costs IDR 273 million.
“For OTR Jakarta, yes, calculations for each region will definitely be adjusted again,” explained Dian.
