motorcycles and 1 million cars in
2019. According to this data, Indonesia is the biggest automotive market
in the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations, with a 32% market share.
Automotive industries also provide
strong support to production, with an
installed capacity of 2.25 million cars
and more than 8.5 million motorcycles per year. It can be concluded that
automotive markets, industries, and
technologies in Indonesia are promising and will continue to grow, especially
the motorcycle segment. The Indonesian Minister of Industry set a production target of 10 million motorcycles, with 20% being EVs, by 2025.
The high private vehicle market potential in Indonesia,
along with creativity related to the Internet of things and
very interactive social media-based consumers, provide
market support for EV distributed-direct digital manufacturing (D2DM). Moreover, the surplus of electricity in Java-
Madura-Bali (the area with the highest population
density) will further support the EV program. In addition,
outside Java-Madura-Bali, there are still some regions
with limited access to fuel. In these places, EVs are the
best solution for transportation vehicles.

The first-year (2013) goal was to create
three test platforms, with the laboratory evaluation of two integrated
prototypes targeted for 2014. The
third-year (2015) objective was to have
two units ready to be tested in a special environment, including a trial on a
circuit and designated tracks. The
fourth year included the most important milestone, with a target of 10
units ready to undergo road tests and
100 preseries vehicles.
Based on the road map, the next two-year program was
prepared to facilitate a mass production line with a capacity of 10,000 units per year. Considering the research progress and readiness of the industry, in 2016, the Indonesian
Government made a road map adjustment. The production target date was revised from 2016 to 2020. Moreover,
the government tasked the Indonesia Endowment Fund
for Education (LPDP) to supervise, update, and provide
funding for EV research through the Productive Innovative
Research Program (RISPRO). With this scheme, research
into EVs will be funded, with special requirements to look
for industry partners that are committed until the production phase.

EV research and development in Indonesia was systematically started in 2012. The Indonesian president and Ministry of Education, along with five top universities-Institut
Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), Institut Teknologi
Bandung (ITB), Universitas Indonesia (UI), Universitas
Gajah Mada (UGM), and Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS)-
and two national research centers, the Indonesian Institute of Sciences and Agency for the Assessment and

Research and development for EVs was also initiated by
some industries. Indonesian Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMNs) started funding research in 2012. In late
2012, an EV prototype, Tucuxi, was introduced. Tucuxi is a
two-door sports car with a 200-kW engine and 61-kWh battery. It can go faster than 200 km/h. The next prototype, EV
Indonesia (Evina), launched in early 2013. Evina is a fivedoor city car with a 21-kWh battery and 135-km driving
range per single charge. In mid-2013, Selo, the prototype of
