Jakarta, Thekabarnews.com—Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has made a big announcement about how to get more people to use electric vehicles (EVs) quickly.
This project is part of a bigger plan to use more energy and fewer fossil fuels. This program has everything from motorcycles to big trucks.
On March 17, President Prabowo met with some of the best journalists and analysts at his home in Hambalang, West Java. He said that the government wants to slowly switch out regular cars for electric ones.
“The goal is to turn every car, truck, motorcycle, and even tractor into an electric vehicle,” the president said.
Prabowo said that the change would help people who do not have a lot of money and save a lot of gas. In fact, according to government simulations, switching from gas-powered motorcycles to electric ones could save up to 80 percent on costs.
“This switch is a significant shift,” he stated.
The president also said that people who have a lot of money and still drive regular cars should pay the same prices as everyone else. As a result, the policy’s goal is to make things fair and get more people to drive electric cars.
In addition to making electric cars, Prabowo stressed the need to increase the use of renewable energy, especially solar power. He also said that he wanted to build electric cars.
The president wants Indonesia to be able to make up to 100 gigawatts of solar energy in the next two years. Such an increase would be a big jump. Currently, the current level is about 11 gigawatts.
“We need to hurry. Solar energy will be critical as we move away from fossil fuels,” Prabowo stated.
President Prabowo also said that Indonesia’s energy system is not working well right now, mostly because diesel-powered power plants are still running.
He said that the country still gets about 13 gigawatts of power from diesel. However, he said this was too expensive and not a viable long-term solution.
“We have to stop using diesel power plants. They cost too much and do not work well,” Prabowo remarked.
The government wants to switch from diesel-based electricity to cleaner, cheaper energy sources in the near future. This change should save a lot of money and strengthen the country’s energy security.
People who have read the president’s plan say it is a big step toward green energy and growth that will last. But they also say that the plan will not work without strong infrastructure, regulatory support, and public readiness.
Prabowo’s plan is a new and better way for Indonesia to solve energy problems in other countries. It wants to make the country a big part of the transition to clean energy by using fewer fossil fuels and lowering costs.
