The Indonesian International Motor Show (IIMS) 2025 is generating important buzz as electric vehicles take center stage. Honda recently unveiled its first electric car for the Indonesian market, the E:N1, signaling a potential shift towards greener transportation in the region.

Honda’s E:N1: A Catalyst for Electric Vehicle Adoption?
Senior Editor: Dr. Zidni, Honda’s introduction of the E:N1 in Indonesia is a noteworthy event.How significant is this launch in terms of propelling electric vehicle (EV) adoption in the country?
Dr. Fahmi Zidni: It’s a pivotal moment, indeed. Honda is a brand deeply ingrained in the Indonesian market,so the E:N1 carries considerable weight. Its arrival signifies that established automakers are seriously investing in the Indonesian EV market. this can inspire consumer confidence and potentially accelerate the adoption of electric mobility.
Indonesia’s Car Ownership Lag Behind Regional Peers

Dr. Fahmi zidni: That’s a crucial point. Indonesia’s car ownership rate presents both a challenge and an chance. The lower base implies a larger potential market for EVs,as people gradually enter the car ownership segment. Though, it also means that existing infrastructure and consumer awareness may not be as developed as in neighboring countries with higher car ownership.

Senior Editor: What key factors need to be addressed to ensure a accomplished transition to EVs in Indonesia?
Dr. Fahmi Zidni: A multi-pronged approach is essential. We need to see: 1) expanded charging infrastructure, 2) attractive government incentives to encourage EV adoption, 3) consumer education campaigns to dispel myths and highlight the benefits of EVs, and 4) progress of a robust supply chain for batteries and othre EV components.
The Future of Mobility in Indonesia
Senior Editor: Looking ahead, what are your projections for the future of electric mobility in Indonesia?
Dr. Fahmi Zidni: I believe Indonesia has the potential to become a significant player in the global EV market. With its large population, abundant natural resources (crucial for battery production), and growing middle class, the country is well-positioned. The government’s commitment to sustainable development further fuels this optimistic outlook. We will likely see a rapid expansion of EV models, charging infrastructure, and supporting industries in the coming years. The transition to electric mobility in Indonesia is under way.
Conclusion
Dr. zidni’s insights shed light on the promising future of electric mobility in Indonesia. While challenges remain, the arrival of Honda’s E:N1, coupled with government initiatives and growing consumer interest, suggests that Indonesia is poised to embrace a greener and more sustainable automotive future.
