        "content": "<p>PT PLN (Persero) recorded a fourfold increase in electric vehicle\ncharging transactions at Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations\n(SPKLU) during the 2026 Eid period compared to the previous year. PLN\nnoted that throughout the period from 12 to 31 March 2026, the number of\ncharging transactions reached 303,234.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe number surged more than fourfold compared to transactions in the\nsame period last year, which totalled 73,161,\u201d said PLN President\nDirector Darmawan Prasodjo, quoted from a written statement on Thursday,\n2 April 2026.<\/p>\n<p>According to Darmawan, this trend is a positive signal of increasing\npublic confidence in electric vehicles, particularly during the Eid\nhomecoming momentum. \u201cThis is inseparable from the readiness of\ninfrastructure and services that we have provided optimally during the\nhomecoming period,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>To support these needs, Darmawan stated that PLN, together with its\npartners, has operated 4,769 SPKLU units spread across 3,097 locations\nthroughout Indonesia, with an average distance between stations of about\n22 kilometres.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically on major homecoming routes such as Trans-Sumatra, Java,\nand Bali, there are 1,681 SPKLU units at 994 points, an increase of\naround 70 per cent compared to the previous Eid.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, PLN has prepared 15 mobile SPKLU units at several\nstrategic points, particularly at toll exit areas, to anticipate\nemergency needs of electric vehicle users. On the service side, Darmawan\nexplained that PLN has increased charging capacity at several points\nwith fast charging technology up to ultra-fast charging, making charging\ntimes shorter.<\/p>\n<p>This service enhancement is supported by the development of digital\nfeatures in the PLN Mobile application, such as Electric Vehicle Digital\nServices (EVDS), Trip Planner, and AntreEV, which allows users to\nmonitor queues directly.<\/p>\n<p>Darmawan added that transaction convenience has also been improved\nthrough the EV-TAP electronic payment system, which is available at\nseveral SPKLU on the Trans-Java route, making the charging process more\npractical. \u201cWe will continue to strengthen electric vehicle\ninfrastructure and services so that the public becomes more comfortable\nswitching to clean energy,\u201d said Darmawan.<\/p>",
