Jakarta –
Since the last year, more and more vehicle manufacturers have launched new electric motorcycles in Indonesia. However, remember electric motorcycle price is still relatively high, consumer interest in these mounts is still far below conventional motorcycles. So what is the ideal price for an electric motorcycle in Indonesia?
Transport Minister (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi said electric motorcycles should be cheaper than those currently on the market. According to him, if the manufacturer sells emission-free media in the range of Rp. 16 million and the quality and technology are maintained, consumers will buy them a lot.
“If the price of an electric motorcycle is Rp 16 million with an engine in interesting condition and good battery quality, this will be very attractive to the Indonesian people,” said Budi Karya Sumadi through his official statement at the Indonesia Electric Motor Show or IEMS 2022 which took place at JCC Senayan, Jakarta, South.

Transport Minister Budi said there are three things that need to be pursued to make electric vehicles more affordable. First, create a battery that is competitively priced but has a high cruising range. Second, the production of products nationwide and, thirdly, the rise of battery charging stations.
“If these three things are done systematically, the price of electric vehicles will be relatively lower,” he explained.
According to Budi, if the price of electric motorcycles is low and demand continues to grow, there will be a balance between the quantity of production and consumer demand. This rotation has finally made the electric vehicle industry more widespread in Indonesia, so much so that over time electric vehicles become a trend.
“At some point there will be a series of explosions between the production and users of electric vehicles. I believe that electric vehicles have a good future,” said the Minister of Transport.
In addition, Transport Minister Budi also welcomed the collaborative efforts of universities, researchers and industry who also supported the government in creating an electric vehicle ecosystem in Indonesia.
“Government regulations and policies as well as university studies and research will be completed as the industry innovates and seizes opportunities for the electric vehicle industry whose potential is already in sight,” he said.
