BMW Group Indonesia’s Vice President of Customer Service Ariefin Makaminan said the choice of the BMW 330e PHEV was made because the police first wanted to test the eco-friendly car by paying attention to the battery charging infrastructure. As is known, the battery-powered BMW i4 and BMW ix were sold in Indonesia.
“For the moment, we supply plug-in hybrids, we actually offer them, because they really want to try. They haven’t used full electric yet, I’m afraid their range isn’t here yet. Also, Soekarno Hatta doesn’t have a charging station yet. “Arifin said when he met with the city police at Soekarno Hatta Airport. .
Arifin explained that the BMW 330e Plug in Hybrid was not marketed in Indonesia. He also doesn’t want to reveal how much the car will cost if it is marketed in Indonesia.
“So far the 330 and it hasn’t. In fact, that’s when we went in to test our hybrid,” Arifin said.
