ESDM Targets 62,000 EV Charging Stations by 2030

Indonesia is making significant strides in its commitment to sustainable energy and the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has set an ambitious target of establishing 62,918 charging stations for four-wheeled EVs by the year 2030. This initiative is a cornerstone of the nation's strategy to accelerate its energy transition, curb carbon emissions, and bolster national energy security by reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels and their associated subsidies.

As of May 2026, Indonesia has already deployed around 4,892 charging stations. The government is focusing its development efforts on three pilot provinces: DKI Jakarta, West Java, and Bali. Beyond these pilot areas, the ENTREV (Enhancing Readiness for the Transition to Electric Vehicles in Indonesia) program has been expanded to include six other cities: Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Medan, Makassar, Banjarmasin, and Serang. This expansion demonstrates a nationwide commitment to building a robust EV ecosystem.

Hingga Mei 2026, SPKLU roda empat di Indonesia telah mencapai sekitar 4.892 unit. Target pertumbuhan SPKLU roda empat pada tahun 2030 sebesar 62.918 unit.

Ferry Triansyah, Coordinator of Electricity Business Services at the Directorate General of Electricity of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, highlighted that the ENTREV program is not merely about infrastructure development. It also encompasses crucial public awareness campaigns about EVs and vocational training for students to prepare a skilled workforce for the burgeoning electric vehicle sector. This holistic approach ensures that Indonesia is not only building the necessary hardware but also the human capital required for a successful transition.

Aretha Aprilia from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Indonesia emphasized that the EV transition is more than an environmental agenda; it's a strategy for national energy resilience. In the face of global geopolitical dynamics and supply chain disruptions, embracing EVs is a strategic move towards national energy independence. The ENTREV project, as confirmed by its Mid-Term Review in Q1 2025, plays a vital role as a catalyst for Indonesia's national EV acceleration. From our perspective at Tempo, this is a critical development, showcasing Indonesia's proactive stance in embracing future technologies and securing its energy future, a narrative often underappreciated in global discussions that tend to focus solely on environmental benefits.
