        "content": "<p>PT PLN (Persero) has ensured the readiness of electric vehicle\ninfrastructure to support the smooth flow of traffic during the 2026 Eid\nal-Fitr exodus. This step includes comprehensive checks on charging\nfacilities at various strategic points.<\/p>\n<p>Independent Commissioner of PLN Ali Masyur Musa stated that the\nchecking activities represent the company\u2019s efforts to ensure all\nelectric vehicle charging infrastructure is in optimal condition,\nparticularly ahead of increased public mobility during the exodus\nperiod.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPLN continues to strengthen the readiness of electric vehicle\ninfrastructure, especially along strategic routes that serve as the main\npaths for public travel during long holidays. This aligns with PLN\u2019s\ncommitment to supporting the acceleration of the electric vehicle\necosystem in Indonesia,\u201d said Ali Masyur, quoted from his statement on\nThursday, 19 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Nationally, PLN along with its partners has provided 4,769 units of\npublic electric vehicle charging stations (SPKLU) spread across 3,078\nlocations throughout Indonesia. This infrastructure consists of various\ntypes of charging, from ultra-fast charging, fast charging, medium\ncharging to standard charging, tailored to the needs of electric vehicle\nusers.<\/p>\n<p>To support the 2026 Eid al-Fitr exodus period, PLN has also prepared\n1,681 SPKLU units at 994 locations spread along the exodus routes in\nSumatra, Java, and Bali regions. All these facilities are supported by\nmore than 5,000 standby personnel who are on duty 24 hours in three\nshifts to ensure optimal service for electric vehicle users.<\/p>\n<p>Mudik Using Electric Cars is More Efficient and Affordable The\nreadiness of this infrastructure is also directly felt by electric\nvehicle users undertaking exodus journeys.<\/p>\n<p>One of them is Grisya, an electric vehicle user met by Ali Masykur\nMusa at KM 456A Salatiga while en route to Yogyakarta. Grisya admitted\nto starting the journey from Jakarta at night and experiencing ease\nduring the long-distance trip using an electric vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to Yogyakarta from Jakarta. I started from Cibubur at 9\npm. With an electric vehicle, it\u2019s easier to find parking, cheaper, and\nmore efficient,\u201d said Grisya.<\/p>\n<p>Grisya\u2019s account of the ease and efficiency of using electric\nvehicles is certainly supported by PLN\u2019s preparation of mobile SPKLU and\nemergency charging services to anticipate emergency situations for\nelectric vehicle users on the road. The presence of these services is\nexpected to provide quick responses if issues arise during the exodus\njourney.<\/p>",
