It is known that since the last year, many Chinese electric car brands have arrived in Indonesia. After Wuling reaped great success with its tiny electric car, a number of new names continued to emerge, starting from DFSK, Seres, Chery, Neta to Maxus.

“Yes, that’s good, because currently there are only two big players (in the electric segment), Hyundai and Wuling. Their contribution is approximately 60 percent for both, up to last month (Hyundai-Wuling) sold 9,000 (units) from a market of 12 thousand ,” said Fransiscus Soerjopranoto as Chief Operating Officer (COO) of HMID.
“The more makers that enter, whether it’s China or Japan, the more they shape the market. So like it or not, what is called an ecosystem will definitely be formed. Right now, Hyundai is create ecosystem, in the future more independent SPKLU will emerge,” he added.
