Indonesia's Electric Vehicle Financing Market Shows Strong Growth
Surge in EV Financing Driven by New Models and Government Support
Indonesia's electric vehicle (EV) financing market is witnessing a significant surge, with major multifinance companies reporting substantial growth in their EV loan portfolios. By November 2025, PT Mandiri Utama Finance (MUF) recorded a 131% year-on-year increase in EV financing 1, while PT Adira Dinamika Multi Finance (ADMF) reported an even higher growth rate of 149% during the same period 2.
Key Drivers of EV Financing Growth
- Increasing availability of new EV models: The growing number of EV models entering the Indonesian market, particularly from Chinese manufacturers, has been a major factor driving the growth in EV financing. These new models offer competitive pricing and advanced features, making them more attractive to consumers 24.
- Government incentives: Supportive government policies, including tax incentives and import duty exemptions, have played a crucial role in promoting EV adoption and financing 21.
- Expanding EV ecosystem: The development of supporting infrastructure and ecosystem for EVs is enhancing consumer confidence and driving demand for EV financing 4.
Challenges Facing EV Financing
Despite the positive growth trends, industry experts highlight several challenges that need to be addressed:
- Resale value concerns: The uncertainty surrounding the resale value of EVs remains a significant challenge for both consumers and financiers 34.
- Infrastructure limitations: The limited availability of charging infrastructure in certain regions continues to be a constraint for widespread EV adoption 2.
- Market competition: With over 20 EV brands now available in Indonesia, the market is becoming increasingly competitive, which may impact the long-term viability of some newer entrants 3.
Industry Outlook
The Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) reported that total EV financing by multifinance companies reached Rp17.64 trillion by October 2025, representing a 2.70% month-on-month growth 2. Industry experts predict continued growth in the EV financing market, although at a potentially moderated pace in the short term due to the challenges mentioned above.
