KONTAN.CO.ID – JAKARTA. PT Wahana Ottomitra Multiartha Tbk or WOM Finance stated that financing is still dominated by conventional motorbikes, where the contribution to electric motorbike financing is still relatively small or less than 1% as of September 2023.
WOM Finance Financial Director Ring Lisa said, although the total financing is still relatively small, she projects that financing for electric motorbikes will continue to grow in the future.
“In line with various policies that have been issued by the Indonesian government as well as infrastructure improvements for electric vehicles, especially electric motorbikes,” said Ring to Kontan, Thursday (19/10).

Responding to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources’ plan to add subsidy criteria for converting conventional motorbikes to electric motorbikes, Ring said that his party was optimistic because it would increase the attraction of people who really have the desire to switch to electric motorbikes.
But on the other hand, Ring also sees that the number of dealers and after sales service electric motors are still limited.
“Facility charging station “is still one of the obstacles to the growth of electric motorbikes in Indonesia,” added Ring.
