Charging infrastructure is the key to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. Indonesia’s state electricity company (PLN) is transforming electricity poles into public EV charging stations. After the successful operation of three stations in Jakarta in early January, an additional 2,000 poles will be converted into EV charging stations this year, aiming to boost public confidence in using electric vehicles.
PLN to repurpose millions of poles
The Chairman of the state-owned electricity company, Darmawan Prasodjo, stated that they plan to utilize millions of electricity poles across the country to establish public EV charging stations. These existing structures can accelerate the installation process for PLN and significantly reduce costs.
