Apart from Kang Emil, the meeting was attended by the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono and the Acting Governor of Banten Al Muktabar along with a number of other Advanced Indonesia Cabinet ministers.
Kang Emil then explained the results of a study regarding the sources of pollutants that had been collected by the government. As a result, the highest concentration of PM2.5 pollution particles still comes from motor vehicles. Meanwhile, from PLTU it is only around 25 percent.
He said the directives for civil servant workers were clear to replace cars internal combustion engine (ICE) to the car battery electric vehicles (BEV).
“Yes, Mr. Luhut’s orders are all civil servants, one who has the right to an official car has started to conceptualize an electric car. West Java has it. All the service heads use Ioniq 5, leasing it, we have made it a tradition,” said Ridwan Kamil.
“For civil servants who buy private cars, it’s time to switch to electric cars. Especially in the Greater Jakarta area that we discussed earlier, 70 percent of pollution comes from vehicles, so it’s time for an option to convert to electric cars to reduce pollution.”
“I’ve been using it for three years, the first Hyundai, Ioniq 5, test drive 6, and others. The point is, it’s time,” he continued.
