DKI Continues to Exempt Electric Vehicles from Odd-Even Rules
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government continues to exempt battery-based electric vehicles from the odd-even (gage) rules as part of its support for the use of low-emission vehicles.
“We are maintaining the policy of exemption from odd-even restrictions for battery-based electric vehicles,” said the Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, Syafrin Liputo, in his statement in Jakarta on Tuesday.
He stated that this policy is part of efforts to encourage the use of more environmentally friendly vehicles, in line with commitments to reduce emissions and strengthen a sustainable urban transportation system.
According to Syafrin, the development of electric vehicles should be positioned as part of a broader urban mobility strategy, supported by strengthened public transportation and consistent environmental policies.
In addition to this policy, the DKI Provincial Government is also maintaining fiscal incentives in the form of exemptions from Motor Vehicle Tax (PKB) and Motor Vehicle Transfer Tax (BBNKB) for battery-based electric motor vehicles.
This policy aligns with the Ministry of Home Affairs’ Circular Letter No. 900.1.13.1/3764/SJ on providing fiscal incentives in the form of PKB and BBNKB exemptions for battery-based electric motor vehicles.
The Head of the DKI Jakarta Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda), Lusiana Herawati, said that this policy is part of support for the renewable energy-based vehicle ecosystem as well as efforts to encourage the use of more environmentally friendly vehicles in Jakarta.
Previously, the Central Government through the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation (Permendagri) No. 11 of 2026 stipulated that electric vehicles are no longer objects excluded from PKB and BBNKB, so ownership or transfer remains subject to taxation schemes.
Thus, electric cars are still subject to tax by regulation, but the amount of tax paid is not always full and can even be zero rupiah, depending on local policies.
In this regard, the Central Government continues to provide room for incentives in the form of exemptions or reductions, as regulated in Article 19.
