Menurut laporan media, ekosistem kenderaan elektrik (EV) di Indonesia semakin berkembang pesat dengan sokongan daripada 48 syarikat motosikal elektrik yang mempunyai kapasiti pengeluaran tahunan sebanyak 1.43 juta unit, menurut Menteri Perindustrian Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita.

Kartasasmita menyatakan bahawa kementeriannya komited untuk mempercepat pembangunan ekosistem EV melalui penilaian dan penemuan inovatif. Beliau menekankan bahawa inisiatif ini sejajar dengan komitmen kerajaan dalam mengurangkan emisi hijau. Menteri tersebut membuat kenyataan ini semasa pelancaran Indonesia Motorcycle Show (IMOS+) di ICE BSD, Tangerang.

Pada September 2023, data pendaftaran kenderaan elektrik berasaskan bateri (KBLBB) di Indonesia menunjukkan bahawa sebanyak 66,978 motosikal elektrik telah didaftarkan. Kartasasmita mencatat bahawa kerajaan sedang mengambil langkah untuk merangsang penggunaan KBLBB dua roda. Ini termasuk memberikan bantuan kewangan.

Berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Perindustrian Nombor 6 tahun 2023, bersama dengan Nombor 21 tahun 2023, kerajaan menawarkan diskaun sebanyak Rp7 juta untuk setiap pembelian unit KBLBB dua roda dengan tahap komponen tempatan (TKDN) sekurang-kurangnya 40 peratus. Bantuan ini boleh diakses oleh warganegara Indonesia yang berumur sekurang-kurangnya 17 tahun dan mempunyai nombor pengenalan.

Kartasasmita juga mengungkapkan bahawa sebanyak 16 syarikat industri KBLBB dua roda telah mendaftar sebagai peserta program, dengan 38 model yang tersedia di platform pengedaran program bantuan. Hingga Oktober 20, lebih daripada 7,500 individu telah memanfaatkan insentif ini. Menteri berharap sokongan ini akan merangsang lebih ramai orang untuk merangkul ekosistem KBLBB dua roda, selaras dengan komitmen negara untuk mengurangkan emisi karbon.

Dalam tempoh Januari hingga September 2023, Indonesia telah menjual sebanyak 4.7 juta kenderaan beroda dua domestik, dengan 428 ribu unit dieksport (CBU). Ini merupakan peningkatan yang signifikan berbanding dengan tempoh yang sama pada tahun 2022 di mana jualan domestik mencapai 3.6 juta unit dan 568 ribu unit dieksport. Secara keseluruhannya, Indonesia menjual 5.2 juta unit domestik pada tahun 2022, dengan eksport mencapai 643 ribu unit.

Kartasasmita menekankan bahawa sasaran jualan domestik untuk motosikal pada tahun 2023 adalah sebanyak 6.1 juta unit. Walaupun daya beli pasaran global yang lemah, kerajaan dengan aktif mendorong eksport untuk mencapai atau melebihi angka tahun 2022. Pasaran eksport yang berkembang akan menunjukkan sumbangan sektor automotif kepada imbangan perdagangan Indonesia.

Dalam ucapannya, Kartasasmita juga menekankan pentingnya penglibatan dan pendidikan kepada orang awam mengenai motosikal elektrik. Inisiatif seperti IMOS+ memainkan peranan penting dalam meningkatkan kesedaran dan mendidik orang awam tentang kelebihan kenderaan elektrik. Selain itu, industri pengangkutan merangkumi pelbagai sub-sektor penyokong termasuk tayar, kaca, bateri, bateri elektrik, topi keledar, dan pakaian. Sub-sektor ini mempunyai potensi untuk meningkatkan nilai tambah kepada Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) Indonesia.

Secara kesimpulannya, Indonesia komited untuk menggalakkan ekosistem kenderaan elektriknya, mendorong penggunaan motosikal elektrik, dan memajukan industri berkaitan untuk memberi sumbangan positif kepada pertumbuhan ekonomi negara dan kelestarian alam sekitar.

  • Motorcycle sales rose 7.2% in Europe, but 49% of those are electric motorcycles.

  • Many manufacturers have started to showcase their products at Intermot.

  • The top electric motorcycle maker, Energica launched a new sport model.

Motorcycle sales in Europe has risen 7.2%, but 49% of those sole are electric motorcycles.

Out of the 49%, two of three electric two-wheelers are urban-oriented electric pedal-assisted mopeds and scooters, however. Electric motorcycles, on the other hand, makes up only one in four but the trend is on the uptick.

The growth is significant, and manufacturers have started to showcase many electric motorcycles at the recent Intermot motorcycle show in Cologne, Germany. They fit virtually every intended segment.

The most well-known electric motorcycle of the moment has to be Energica, who will supply eighteen Ego Corsa race bikes for the 2019 MotoE World Cup. The series will be held at selected MotoGP rounds. The Sepang International Circuit (SIC) will also take part with a team of their own.

The Energica Ego Corsa took centre stage at the show, which happens to be the Italian company’s first visit.

The Ego Corsa is powered by a synchronous oil-cooled motor, providing a continuous power of 160.8 bhp (120 kW) and a whopping 200 Nm of torque. That kind of power pushes the bike from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 270 km/h. (Still think electric bikes are slow?) There is no transmission and clutch, as power control is regulated by the Ride-by-Wire system.

Energica also unveiled a black version called the Ego Sport Black at the show.

So this begs the question: When will our government be serious in pushing for green tech? Many countries around the world, including those less developed than Malaysia will have the infracstructure in place within the next decade.

Where are we? Still slinging dirt and pointing fingers at each other in the Parliament.

  • Many countries in the world seek to stop producing petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040, latest

  • India, along with Norway take the charge to achieve by 2025

  • Malaysia targets phased electrification by 2030

Two months ago, the world’s automotive industry was rocked by the news of the UK government seeking to ban new petrol and diesel vehicles beginning 2040.

France, and cities such Madrid, Mexico City and Athens have also announced the same, while Scotland seeks to phase out internal combustion engines on their roads by 2032. Norway will transition to fully electric by 2025. China, the world’s largest auto producer (30 percent of the world’s cars), is considering a similar move.

But it is India’s manufacturers – Hero MotoCorp, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, TVS Motor, Mahindra Two Wheelers, Yamaha, and Bajaj Auto –  who are pushing hard to introduce mainstreams electric motorcycles by 2018, ahead of the country’s ambitious 2030 deadline.

India is currently the largest market for motorcycles, with 17 million sold in 2016. Electric motorcycles (including scooters) however, only sold 4,500,00 in the past eight years.

The biggest hurdle for electric motorcycles is the very thing that gives it mobility – the battery. Lead acid batteries are widely available and inexpensive but they have shorter lifespans and take longer to charge, as opposed to lithium-ion batteries. However, li-ion batteries are expensive.

“It will take some time for electric cars to be sold en masse,” said Sohinder Gill, Director of Society of Electric Vehicles. “With cost of li-ion batteries coming down, performance has improved and more manufacturers have started work in the segment, which will give more choices to the consumer.”

Other than the cost, driven up the price of li-ion batteries, consumers will also face the lack of public charging stations. As such, TVS Motor will offer both hybrid and fully electric options.

Honda and Yamaha have been selling electric motorcycles outside of India, and are seeking to lower costs and ensure adequate infrastructure to support. Honda has been investing in electric vehicles for the last two decades.

How about us Malaysia?

Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water, Datuk Seri Maximus Ongkili said in April that Malaysia is moving towards becoming the marketing hub for electric vehicles. The ministry targets electrifying 100,000 cars, 100 motorcycles, 2,000 buses and the installation of 125,000 charging stations by 2030.

That means our nation’s vehicles will not be fully electric by 2030, if everything goes to plan. Implementation will most likely begin in urban and built-up areas.
