7 Benefits of Wuling EV for Consumer Comfort in Indonesia
22 May, 2024
The electric vehicle (EV) landscape in Indonesia is witnessing a remarkable surge, with both the availability of EV products and consumer interest steadily increasing. Recognising this trend, automakers are actively expanding their EV offerings, and Wuling Motors Indonesia stands at the forefront of this movement, relentlessly introducing new electric vehicle variants.
Wuling EV, the current reigning champion in Indonesia’s EV market, has captivated consumers with its exceptional value proposition. Coupled with the attractive incentives offered by the Indonesian government, the affordability of Wuling EVs has reached new heights.
But what exactly makes Wuling EV ownership so appealing to Indonesian consumers? Let’s explore the seven key benefits that elevate the Wuling EV experience:
7 Years of Wuling’s Journey in Indonesia
Wuling Motors Indonesia has been a part of Indonesia’s automotive landscape since establishing its first plant in Cikarang, West Java, in July 2017. Today, Wuling Motors Indonesia has embarked on its 7th year, continuously innovating its product offerings, particularly in the electric vehicle segment.
Wuling’s journey began with the introduction of gasoline-powered vehicles, followed by the launch of the Air ev electric vehicle, which received an enthusiastic reception from the Indonesian market. Today, Wuling EV remains a highly sought-after product, joined by two other electric vehicles: the BinguoEV and the Cloud EV.
10% PPN Incentive for Electric Vehicles
In a move to promote the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in Indonesia, the government has introduced a 10% PPN (Value Added Tax) incentive through Regulation of the Minister of Finance (PMK) No. 8 of 2024. This incentive significantly reduces the overall cost of Wuling EVs, making them more accessible to a wider range of consumers. Under the scheme, buyers of eligible EVs will only pay 1% PPN, a substantial saving compared to the standard 11% PPN rate.
To qualify for the 10% PPN incentive, EVs must meet the minimum Local Content Level (TKDN) requirement of 40%. Wuling’s range of EVs, including the Air ev, BinguoEV, and Cloud EV, all successfully meet this TKDN threshold, making them eligible for the incentive.
Wuling’s Extensive Network of 150 Dealers Across Indonesia
Wuling Motors Indonesia is committed to providing its customers with a seamless and convenient ownership experience. To achieve this, the company has established a robust network of 150 authorised dealerships spanning across the Indonesian archipelago. These dealerships serve as accessible touchpoints for customers, offering a comprehensive range of services.
Step into a Wuling dealership and immerse yourself in the world of Wuling vehicles. Our showrooms are designed to showcase the company’s latest offerings, including the Air ev, BinguoEV, and Cloud EV electric vehicles, along with fuel-powered models like the Wuling Cortez, Alvez, and New Almaz RS.

Owning a Wuling vehicle comes with the added benefit of easy access to comprehensive after-sales services. With a network of 150 authorised dealerships spanning across Indonesia, Wuling customers can enjoy the convenience and peace of mind of knowing that regular maintenance and repairs are readily available.
Effortless Battery Charging
Wuling EVs are designed with convenience in mind, featuring Easy Home Charging that simplifies the battery charging process. With a minimum power supply of 2,200 VA, you can easily charge your Wuling EV at home.
The Easy Home Charging feature allows you to charge your Wuling EV using a standard household power outlet, just like charging your smartphone or laptop. This eliminates the need for specialised charging stations, making charging more convenient and accessible.
Wuling goes beyond home charging by providing comprehensive charging solutions for its EV customers. Upon purchasing a Wuling EV, you’ll receive complimentary charging devices and access to a wide network of public charging stations conveniently located across Indonesia.
Even when embarking on long journeys, Wuling EV owners can rest assured that they’ll have access to charging facilities. Indonesia’s SPKLU network is continuously expanding, providing charging options along major routes and in various regions.
With its convenient home charging options, extensive public charging network, and growing availability of SPKLUs, Wuling EVs offer peace of mind for even the longest journeys.
Enjoy Unrestricted Mobility in Jakarta
Navigating the bustling streets of Jakarta can be a challenge, especially with the implementation of the Ganjil-Genap (Odd-Even) traffic restriction policy. However, Wuling EV owners can breathe a sigh of relief as their vehicles are exempt from this regulation.
According to Governor’s Regulation No. 88 of 2019, which amends Governor’s Regulation No. 155 of 2018 regarding the Odd-Even traffic restriction system, electric vehicles, including Wuling EVs, are categorised as vehicles exempt from the Ganjil-Genap policy in Jakarta.
Wuling EVs are easily identifiable by their distinctive blue license plates, making it clear to traffic authorities that they are exempt from Ganjil-Genap restrictions. This eliminates the hassle of worrying about the regulations and allows Wuling EV owners to move freely throughout the city.
Experience Sustainable Savings with Wuling EVs
Transitioning to an electric vehicle like a Wuling EV can significantly reduce your daily transportation costs. Unlike gasoline-powered cars that rely on expensive fuel, Wuling EVs operate on electricity, eliminating the need for regular trips to the gas station.
Powering your Wuling EV is surprisingly economical, thanks to the competitive electricity rates in Indonesia. Charging your EV at home is particularly cost-effective, with PLN’s electricity prices ranging from Rp1,445 to Rp1,700 per kWh. Even when charging at SPKLUs (Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations), the cost remains reasonable, averaging around Rp2,466 per kWh, depending on the provider and service selected.
Consider the Cloud EV, which boasts a 50.6 kWh battery and an impressive range of 460 km. Charging this EV at home would cost approximately Rp75,000 while charging at an SPKLU would be around Rp112,000. This allows you to travel 460 km for a fraction of the cost compared to fueling a gasoline-powered car.
Trusted Financial Partners
Wuling is committed to making electric vehicle ownership accessible to a wider audience by partnering with a network of trusted financial institutions. These partnerships provide consumers with a variety of convenient and affordable financing options to suit their individual needs and preferences.
