Pictured: Wuling Binguo EV, one of the EV car I most often see in Jakarta and Surabaya, Indonesia. I also am beginning to see BYD EV cars in Jakarta too

As an Indonesian, I am kinda surprised to see at least like one or two EV each day in Jakarta and Surabaya, especially when EVs here are still considered expensive cars.

I am also surprised seeing more EVs than hybrid cars here

    In Singapore the top selling car brand is BYD [1]

    And EVs make up 1/3 of all car sales. [2]

    Also more than half of all commercial vans are battery electric. [3]

    Not to mention all the electric taxis and buses.

      BYD is very interesting to me. Immediately after they start selling cars here in Jakarta I started seeing them everywhere.
