        "summary": "The Jakarta Provincial Government continues to exempt electric vehicles from motor vehicle taxes and the odd-even traffic restrictions to promote environmentally friendly transport and reduce air pollution in the capital. This policy aligns with central government directives, including a ministerial circular providing full tax exemptions for battery-based electric vehicles, aiming to accelerate their adoption among the public. While incentives vary by vehicle value nationally, Jakarta has adjusted to offer complete waivers, supporting sustainable urban transportation despite ongoing encouragement for public transit use.",
        "content": "<p>The Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov DKI Jakarta) continues to\nexempt electric vehicles from taxes and grant exemptions from the\nodd-even rule. This policy is implemented to encourage the transition to\nenvironmentally friendly vehicles while curbing air pollution in\nJakarta. Head of the Jakarta Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda), Lusiana\nHerawati, stated that incentives in the form of exemptions from Motor\nVehicle Tax (PKB) and Motor Vehicle Ownership Transfer Fee (BBNKB) are\nin line with central government policies. \u201cFollowing the issuance of the\nMinister of Home Affairs\u2019 Circular Letter Number 900.1.13.1\/3764\/SJ on\nfiscal incentives in the form of PKB and BBNKB exemptions for\nbattery-based electric motor vehicles, the policy of the DKI Jakarta\nProvincial Government aligns with those provisions,\u201d Lusiana said in her\nstatement on Tuesday (5\/5\/2026). She explained that these incentives aim\nto accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles among the public. In\naddition to tax exemptions, electric vehicles remain exempt from\nJakarta\u2019s odd-even rule. \u201cThis policy is part of efforts to promote the\nuse of more environmentally friendly vehicles, in line with commitments\nto reduce emissions and strengthen a sustainable urban transportation\nsystem,\u201d said Syafrin. According to him, the use of electric vehicles is\nexpected to help reduce air pollution, which remains a problem in\nJakarta. Nevertheless, the public is still urged to prioritise public\ntransportation in their daily activities. This incentive policy is also\nlinked to the issuance of Minister of Home Affairs Regulation Number 11\nof 2026, which regulates the basis for imposing PKB, BBNKB, and heavy\nequipment taxes nationally. Under that regulation, battery-based\nelectric vehicles are no longer automatically excluded as objects of\nregional taxes. This means that the provision of incentives now depends\non the policies of each regional government. Electric vehicles valued up\nto Rp 300 million receive a 75 per cent incentive, vehicles valued Rp\n300-500 million receive 65 per cent, vehicles valued Rp 500-700 million\nreceive 50 per cent, and vehicles valued above Rp 700 million receive 25\nper cent. However, this plan was adjusted following directives from the\ncentral government through a circular from the Ministry of Home Affairs\nrequesting full tax exemptions for electric vehicles. \u201cThis was\ninitially permitted, then revised. Therefore, the DKI Jakarta Government\nmust also adjust accordingly,\u201d said Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung. With\nthis policy, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government hopes that the use of\nelectric vehicles will expand further, while supporting a cleaner and\nmore sustainable transportation system in the capital.<\/p>",
