"As oil prices blow past $100 a barrel amid war in the Middle East, Indonesia’s
fast-growing fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) is quietly easing fiscal pressure
on the government.
In 2025 alone, EVs saved more than Rp100 billion (~$US5.8 billion) in public
spending by substituting millions of liters of imported liquid fuels with
domestically produced electricity.
The relief is real, but the current benefits represent only a fraction of what
is possible. With policies that expand the supply of EVs in the Indonesian
market, the government can multiply these savings while strengthening energy
security."
