The Jakarta auto show provided Indonesia's government with a platform to reaffirm its commitment to boosting electric vehicle production and sales in Asia's largest auto market.
Dody Hartono, a visitor at the auto show who plans to buy his first EV by 2024, said he wants a better deal.
"We have to make people interested first with EVs, starting with prices that should be 60% cheaper," the 54-year old said.
Indonesia has ambitious EV growth plans as it races Thailand and India to build out an EV industry as an alternative to China, the world's largest producer. However, EVs currently account for less than 1% of cars on its roads.
