Authorities expect EVs to account for 5 per cent of total vehicle sales this year, and twice that share in 2024.
Singapore tech company ION Mobility was among some 45 companies that featured at the Indonesia International Motor Show last month.“We're using these trade shows to do what I call incrementally soft, but firmer launches to appear more, frequency-wise, in the eyes of our consumers,” said Mr James Chan, founder and CEO of ION Mobility.
The bike is designed and engineered in Singapore, and the company is planning to start its assembly line in Indonesia by the end of this year. “I think the ability to design and implement our own production line and facilities is what differentiates us from other players, where we're able to then achieve these high percentages very quickly from day one.”Another Singapore EV company in Indonesia, Oyika, provides battery swap stations for electric bike users in the Greater Jakarta region and more recently in Bali.
“You need this thing to keep on moving. So you need to have the same experience as a normal bike out there where you just go to a petrol station, you pump in the petrol, and you just move."
