The company currently assembles vehicles through PT Handal Indonesia Motor but may build a factory if demand continues to rise. A spokesperson noted that local manufacturing could materialise once production and sales reach a certain threshold.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - Demand for the Jaecoo J5 EV in Indonesia is reportedly\nsurging, with the electric flagship model delivering 16,000 units in a\nrelatively short timeframe. This surge has raised questions about\nwhether Jaecoo will establish its own production facility in Indonesia\nto meet domestic demand. Currently, Jaecoo vehicles in Indonesia are\nassembled at PT Handal Indonesia Motor (HIM) facilities alongside other\nChinese automotive brands. \u201cWe are now expanding production capacity to\nmeet delivery timelines for our customers. Currently, the J5\u2019s waiting\nperiod is around three to four weeks,\u201d said Jim Ma in North Jakarta on\nSunday (24 May 2026). He added that Jaecoo aims to accelerate vehicle\ndistribution to reduce wait times for customers. \u201cWe are working to\nexpedite the delivery of our products to customers as quickly as\npossible,\u201d Jim Ma stated. Although Jaecoo has not confirmed plans for a\nlocal factory, Jim Ma indicated that such a move is possible if demand\ncontinues to rise. \u201cThis is a major topic for Chery Indonesia. When\nproduction and demand reach a certain level, this will certainly\nmaterialise,\u201d he added. Jaecoo, part of the Chery group, is aggressively\nexpanding its electric vehicle market in Indonesia. In addition to the\nJ5 EV, Jaecoo offers plug-in hybrid models such as the J7 SHS-P and J8\nSHS-P ARDIS. The J5 EV is one of the most popular electric SUVs in the\ndomestic market, offering high ground clearance and spacious interiors\nsuited to Indonesian consumers\u2019 needs.<\/p>",
