        "summary": "Alva has launched a new proportional battery subscription plan called \"Bebas Pas\" for users of its N3 Next Gen electric motorbike, offering pricing flexibility based on the previous month's mileage to address consumer concerns about fixed costs during low-usage periods. Under this scheme, fees range from Rp125,000 for under 800 km to Rp200,000 for 801-1,800 km per month, making it more affordable and appealing to potential switchers to electric vehicles. This innovation aims to boost adoption of the N3 model, which already accounts for over 50% of Alva's sales and is priced at Rp15.5 million with the new plan.",
        "content": "<p>BINTARO - Alva has officially introduced its latest battery\nsubscription scheme titled \u201cBebas Pas\u201d or Proportional Fun According to\nNeeds for users of the N3 Next Gen electric motorbike. Unlike the\nprevious \u201cBebas\u201d scheme, which charged a flat fee of Rp250,000 per\nmonth, Bebas Pas offers pricing flexibility based on the user\u2019s mileage\nfrom the previous month. Alva Chief Executive Officer Purbaya Pantja\nexplained that this scheme is a response to consumer feedback who felt\nburdened by having to pay the full fee when the motorbike was rarely\nused, such as during holiday periods. Under the Bebas Pas scheme, the\nbattery rental fee is divided into several tiers. If the motorbike usage\nis below 800 km per month, consumers only need to pay Rp125,000.\nHowever, if the usage is in the range of 801 km to 1,800 km, the\nsubscription fee becomes Rp200,000 per month. This amount is still\nconsidered economical, as 800 km per month equates to nearly 10,000 km\nper year. \u201cI think the consumer feedback is fair. Because if they don\u2019t\nuse it, the battery\u2019s life cycle doesn\u2019t decrease much either. So we\nalso have to give some of that back to the consumers,\u201d said Purbaya.\nWith this option, Alva hopes to attract more consumers who are still\nhesitant to switch to electric motorbikes due to the issue of fixed\nmonthly costs. \u201cThat\u2019s why this Bebas Pas programme was born, which we\nthink is very unique. Because we keep thinking about what\u2019s best for the\ncustomer,\u201d he added. As a note, the Alva N3 itself is currently the\nbackbone of sales, contributing more than 50 percent of the company\u2019s\ntotal sales volume. With the Bebas Pas scheme, the N3 is priced at\nRp15.5 million.<\/p>",
