        "summary": "Indonesia is planning a major expansion of its motorcycle electrification program, targeting up to 6 million conversions annually as new, cheaper technologies emerge. The government will develop a policy framework for subsidies and has formed an energy transition task force to accelerate implementation. The broader goal is 2 million EV cars and 13 million EV motorcycles by 2030, supported by charging infrastructure.",
