Jakarta –
Candidate for President or Presidential Candidate serial number 03, Ganjar Pranowo also commented on the government’s plan to provide incentives for purchasing hybrid cars. Ganjar thinks that hybrid vehicles currently do not need to be given incentives.
Previously, the Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, confirmed that the government was currently working on regulations regarding incentives for hybrid cars. He explained that the incentive was in the form of value added tax (VAT) borne by the government (DTP).
The amount of VAT DTP for hybrid cars is planned to be the same as the amount of incentives given for electric cars. Unfortunately, Airlangga has not provided certainty regarding when these regulations will be issued.

“The calculations are there but we have to have a meeting first,” said Airlangga Hartarto in Jakarta, recently.

However, Ganjar emphasized that incentives for hybrid cars are still not necessary. Unfortunately, he did not explain in more detail the reasons.
“(Hybrid car incentives) are not necessary yet,” Ganjar responded briefly when asked about the urgency of hybrid incentives at JIExpo Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, Thursday evening (22/2).
Ganjar’s statement is in line with what was conveyed by the Head of the Indonesian Presidential Staff Office, Moeldoko at the same location. Moeldoko also thinks that hybrid car incentives do not need to be implemented. This is because these vehicles actually still require fuel oil (BBM) which is less environmentally friendly.
“Actually, in my opinion (the hybrid incentive) is not very important, because it still uses petrol and plus it will be a burden for drivers, because there is petrol and electricity,” said Moeldoko when met at JIExpo Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, Tuesday ( 20/2).

Moeldoko emphasized that currently only electric cars urgently need incentives from the government. Because, he said, these vehicles are completely environmentally friendly and can reduce fuel use in Indonesia.
“But in terms of incentives that are close to EVs, it’s less (important). It’s better to just use EVs, because EVs have two impacts: firstly the environment, secondly the problem of our large fuel imports,” said Moeldoko.
