Government to Add Electric Vehicle Charging Stations for Eid Mudik 2026
Jakarta – The Indonesian government will enhance public facilities for citizens travelling during the Eid mudik period in 2026. One key initiative involves accelerating the expansion of public electric vehicle charging stations (SPKLU).
Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Pratikno explained that this measure has been adopted to support the convenience of electric vehicle users, whose numbers are expected to increase significantly during the 2026 Eid mudik season.
“In coordination with PLN, we are accelerating the addition of electric vehicle chargers. We will implement these additions to further support the smooth flow of mudik travellers,” Pratikno stated during a press conference at the Presidential Secretariat office on Wednesday, 11 March 2026.
The government has also coordinated with Pertamina and Danantara to guarantee the availability of fuel supplies. Additionally, the government will again deploy emergency fuel delivery motorcycle services for mudik travellers who run out of fuel midway or are far from fuel stations.
“Regarding fuel adequacy, we have also coordinated with Pertamina and Danantara to ensure sufficient fuel supplies. Like in previous years, we are also prepared with motorcycles to deliver fuel to vehicles that run out of petrol on the road far from fuel stations,” he added.
Alongside infrastructure and energy preparations, Pratikno emphasised the importance of stabilising essential commodity prices and ensuring easy access to information for the public.
He confirmed that an integrated information system has been prepared under the supervision of the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) to guide mudik travellers throughout their journey.
According to information, Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) has predicted that the peak outbound mudik traffic for Eid 2026 will occur on 14 and 15 March 2026.
The second peak outbound period is expected to fall on 18 and 19 March 2026.
AHY explained that this forecast aligns with statistical data from the Ministry of Transportation during previous Eid seasons.
Meanwhile, the government estimates that the peak return traffic will occur on 24 and 25 March 2026, with the second peak return period expected on 28 and 29 March 2026.
On another note, the government will implement work-from-anywhere (WFA) policies for employees.
“For the return traffic, the peak is estimated to fall on 24 and 25 March, and the second peak on 28 and 29 March. This is why, in between these periods, we are distributing traffic flow through a stay arrangement by implementing work from anywhere,” AHY stated.
