As Indonesia pushes EV dream, car shoppers stay cautious

Indonesia – Indonesia’s government used the Jakarta auto show to double down on plans to drive production and sales of electric vehicles in Southeast Asia’s largest auto market, but buyers are not sold yet.

The price premium on electric vehicles (EVs), questions about the availability of charging stations and doubts about new brands are reasons to hold back for now, said visitors to the auto show in Tangerang, on the outskirts of Jakarta.
