Indonesia is moving to expand its charging network as EV use grows. According to Antara News, reporting on August 11, 2026, energy delivered at public charging stations (SPKLU) reached 62.4 million kWh in the first half of 2026, more than the 48.5 million kWh recorded in all of 2025.
Key Points
- 62.4 million kWh charged in H1 2026.
- 48.5 million kWh charged in all of 2025.
- Licensing for charging stations is being streamlined.
- Rules are set by Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Decree No. 24.K/TL.01/MEM.L/2025.
- The government is encouraging stations at locations such as fuel stations, offices, shopping centres and rest areas.
Demand Is Outpacing Supply
Charging demand in the first six months of 2026 already exceeded the whole of 2025. That shows EV use is growing faster than the network, and the government is responding with simpler licensing to attract more private investment.
What It Means
