Foreign Investors Keen to Build Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in Indonesia
JAKARTA, investor.id – The Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) has revealed that numerous foreign investors wish to build an electric vehicle ecosystem in Indonesia. Most recently, these investors have expressed interest in constructing public electric vehicle charging station (SPKLU) infrastructure.
Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of BKPM, Rosan Roeslani, disclosed that a number of investors who have already expressed their interest hail from Vietnam and China.
"Those who have met with me and are confirmed include investors from Vietnam, who have already applied. There are investors from Vietnam and several from China," said Rosan, who also serves as Chief Executive Officer of Danantara, when met in the SCBD area of Jakarta on Tuesday (6 May 2025).
The Vietnamese investor looking to build charging stations in Indonesia is automotive company VinFast Auto Ltd. The company plans to build no fewer than 3,000 charging station units.
To expedite ease of investment in charging station infrastructure in Indonesia, Rosan intends to amend provisions at the Government Regulation (PP) level. However, he did not elaborate on the specific regulation in question.
"The most recent meeting I had was with a Vietnamese investor. They want to build 3,000 independent charging stations. But we need to revise the relevant government regulation," he explained.
On the same occasion, Rosan also highlighted the performance of investment realisation in Indonesia, particularly in the electric vehicle ecosystem, which continues to grow. This is attributed to several factors, including Indonesia's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions (NZE) by 2060 or sooner. Consequently, the acceleration of electric vehicle adoption continues to increase, reflecting the significant potential of the electric vehicle market in Indonesia.
Furthermore, Indonesia possesses substantial natural resource potential for electric vehicle batteries, including vast quantities of both nickel and bauxite commodities. This serves as a strong consideration for investors to invest their capital in Indonesia.
"As we know, Indonesia has committed both externally and internally to the world to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060 or sooner, and we have committed to that," Rosan affirmed.
