Diksia.com - JAKARTA, PT Indonesia Battery Industry or Indonesia Battery Corporation (IBC) through Antam and Inarum promotes the development of electric vehicle (Electric Vehicle/EV) ecosystem in Indonesia.
To achieve this, IBC not only works in synergy with local partners, but also with global partners to drive the development of the EV and battery ecosystem, especially in terms of technology.
At the “Business Forum: Developing Electronic Vehicle Systems” activity held in Hong Kong on June 30, 2023, it was explained that IBC is developing an integrated end-to-end battery ecosystem.
MIND ID’s main director, Hendi Plio Santoso, said MIND ID’s support is not limited to supplying nickel raw materials, but will also help supply aluminum and copper.
“MIND ID as a mining holding will fully support the realization of accelerated EV ecosystem in Indonesia,” he said, as quoted from Kontan, Monday (March 7, 2023). .
Hendy hopes that this good cooperation will be a good start. Therefore, this cooperation will bring great benefits for Indonesia.
On the other hand, this is also a challenge for the electric two-wheeler (E2W) automotive industry. There are at least 125 million electric vehicles in Indonesia.
The fossil fuels currently in use will undergo a transition to clean energy. The government itself has also set his E2W adoption targets of 6 million (2025), 9 million (2030) and 12 million (2035).
Customers also have their own expectations of E2W, including safety, total cost of ownership, and mileage concerns.
Regarding security, customers are concerned about vehicle safety in various situations such as floods and accidents.
Customers also expect the total cost of ownership of an electric motorcycle to be lower than a bike with an internal combustion engine (ICE) combustion system.
In addition, customers are also concerned that the mileage of electric bikes is still lower than that of ICE bikes.
Meeting these customer expectations requires innovation in standards compliance, business models and E2W infrastructure.
