Indonesia.

• CONDITIONAL GO: validate a company-controlled Jakarta East–Bekasi–Cikarang technical hub, with Tangerang/South Jakarta served by collection and mobile triage.
• The auditable planning pool is 247,609 recent plug-in passenger cars, derived from non-overlapping GAIKINDO wholesale cohorts after a disclosed 2% EVS attrition allowance [gaikindo_2025] [gaikindo_h126] [gaikindo_phev26].
• Do not describe this as official active stock, and do not approve national franchising or battery-module repair before all gates pass.

Approve a 90-day paid validation programme, a conditional Bekasi–Cikarang premises option and six-family platform test. Defer franchise sales, cell rebuilding, unsupported programming and public charging operation.

BEV wholesales rose from 43,188 in 2024 to 103,931 in 2025; H1 2026 added 69,739. PHEVs rose from 136 in 2024 to 5,270 in 2025 and 2,089 in Jan–Apr 2026 [gaikindo_2025] [gaikindo_h126] [gaikindo_phev26].

GAIKINDO wholesales are dealer flows. KBLBB/police population headlines can include electric motorcycles, buses and other classes. HEVs do not plug in. EVS uses a transparent recent passenger plug-in cohort bridge, not an invented registration census.

About 70.9% of the gross recent BEV cohort represents 2025 plus H1 2026 wholesales. This is a directional maturity signal—not a vehicle-age, warranty or survival statistic. Province/model-year registration data remains a hard diligence item.

GAIKINDO recorded 69,739 BEV wholesales in H1 2026, versus 103,931 in all 2025 [gaikindo_h126] [gaikindo_2025]. PHEV periods are shown separately because the clean current cumulative series ends in April.

From the 247,609 planning pool, cautious, base and high scenarios use 15%, 25% and 35% annual growth through end-2030. They are EVS assumptions, not official forecasts or production targets.

PLN-linked Ministry of Industry data reported those figures in April 2026 [kemenperin_ikm]. The end-2025 comparator was 4,655 machines at 3,007 locations [pln_2025]. Machines, locations, holiday readiness and private-network plans are not additive.

No exact active-stock age or warranty distribution was found. A young cohort favours used-EV certificates, fleet uptime, charging/HVAC diagnosis, tyres, alignment, brakes and suspension before deep battery repair.

EVS should not imply government inspection authority. Diagnose and repair within the licensed workshop scope; treat mandatory tests, fleet permits and vehicle approvals as referral interfaces.

The 247,609 planning pool × 52% incidence × IDR8.5m gives IDR1.094tn TAM. Applying 45% independent eligibility gives IDR492.5bn. A 60% Jabodetabek–West Java reach proxy gives IDR295.5bn SAM. Base SOM is 4,000 orders × IDR8m = IDR32bn.

It excludes conventional hybrids, motorcycles, buses, commercial EVs, charging installation, body repair, statutory testing, full-pack replacement and franchise fees. Attrition, incidence, spend, eligibility, reach and economics are labelled EVS assumptions.

Prioritise ride-hailing/rental/logistics fleets, used-EV dealers, insurers/bodyshops/recovery and corporate fleets. Private owners should not carry the validation hub alone.

BYD, Jaecoo, Geely, Wuling, AION, Chery and other Chinese brands led 2026 growth, while Hyundai retains an important local base [gaikindo_q126] [gaikindo_models26]. All advertised functions require paid VIN/tool/parts validation.

OEM networks control warranty, software and parts. Astra/Auto2000, Bosch, Shop&Drive and digital workshop networks offer trust and coverage [auto2000] [bosch] [shopdrive] [otoklix]. EVS must differentiate through auditable battery/flood evidence, insurer workflow and multi-brand governance.

Recommend the eastern Jabodetabek edge for the hub, Tangerang/South Jakarta for collection, and Bandung–Karawang–Subang for a technical/fleet spoke. Province stock, rent, labour, flood and customer-origin data must validate the scores.

The 2025 VAT and luxury-sales-tax support expired with that budget year [djp_ev25]. A new 2026 stimulus was announced on 4 August but details remained pending [reuters_stimulus26]; it is excluded from the base case. Jakarta’s stated 0% PKB needs live VIN-level confirmation [jakarta_pkb26].

Indonesia supports EV/battery investment and local content [perpres79]. A service centre must obtain its own PT PMA, KBLI/OSS, tax, customs and site approvals. No manufacturing or investment award is assumed in economics.

The standard corporate income-tax rate is 22% [djp_cit]. Confirm effective VAT, withholding/royalty, transfer-pricing, customs and PT PMA rules. Model economics are pre-tax and assume no special award.

Indonesia’s K3 system requires workplace safety governance [kemnaker_k3]. EVS should authorise each person for defined HV tasks after training, assessment and supervision; no single blanket EV certificate is assumed.

KBLI 95311 covers mechanical, electrical and mechatronic car repair [oss_repair]. Confirm risk tier, NIB, zoning/building, fire, environment/B3, electrical, refrigerant, employment, insurance and local approvals before lease.

Require isolation, lockout, test-before-touch, insulated tools, PPE, controlled access, rescue equipment, task authorisation and independent K3 audit. Vehicle traction work and fixed/public charging are separate scopes.

No damaged/wet-pack intake or opening before engineered outdoor quarantine, monitoring, emergency response, insurer approval and a licensed B3 downstream route [proper_b3]. Onsite lithium recycling is outside launch scope [battery_recycling].

Confirm refrigerant, hazardous-substance, storage, wastewater and record duties with environmental and local authorities. Do not import UAE or EU rules as if directly applicable.

Use clear estimates, authorisations, limitations, warranties and complaints under Indonesian consumer law [consumer_law]. VIN, telemetry, battery and fleet data require PDP minimisation, security and retention controls [pdp_law].

Confirm Indonesian-language contracts, PT PMA, IP, withholding tax, competition and disclosure/agency implications. No franchise sale before one audited Indonesian operating year and a replicable training/QA system.

Launch battery-health and used-EV certificates, paid fault isolation, charging/thermal diagnosis, tyres/alignment/brakes/suspension, compliant HVAC, fleet SLAs, collection and mobile triage. Hold module/cell work and unsupported coding.

Use one Jakarta East–Bekasi–Cikarang hub with Bahasa Indonesia/English controls, a VIN/function database, central parts approval and daily K3 governance. Cover Tangerang by collection before adding a spoke.

The illustrative base case generates IDR32bn revenue, 52% gross margin and IDR1.64bn EBITDA before tax, financing and central allocations. Low case loses IDR8bn; high case earns IDR17.47bn. Binding B2B demand and staged capex are mandatory.

Critical risks are a young OEM-controlled cohort, software/parts restrictions and thermal/flood events. Policy volatility, price sensitivity, traffic/logistics and licensing are high risks. Multi-brand coverage and paid gates mitigate—not eliminate—them.

Days 0–30: PT PMA/OSS/K3/site memo, province data and interviews. Days 31–60: 150 paid jobs across 50 VINs. Days 61–90: anchor LOIs, binding site/waste/insurance quotes, HSE audit, lead hires and refreshed board model.

No hub without IDR25bn credible annualised demand, 150 paid jobs, 90% function success, written approvals, positive validated base economics and a capable team. No franchise before the separate one-year gate.

Obtain province/model-year/warranty registration stock, paid ticket/cycle-time distributions, OEM-function pass rates, parts lead times, site flood/fire requirements, binding insurer/waste quotes and PT PMA/KBLI advice.

GAIKINDO-derived annual flows anchor the cohort. PLN/ESDM anchor charging. Indonesian authorities anchor policy, tax, licensing, labour, environment and data. Commercial sources map models and competition only. Facts and assumptions remain separate.

No clean current official active passenger BEV/PHEV stock, province split, exact age/warranty profile, EV-only failure rates, workshop pricing, OEM access or technician-supply series was found. The 247,609 denominator is an EVS bridge, not a census.

The source table records publisher, publication date where available, access date, definition notes and direct URL. Material current stock-flow, charging, incentive, tax, licensing and safety pages were freshly checked; syntax validation is not a universal reachability claim.

Approve Indonesia validation. Authorise a Jakarta East–Bekasi–Cikarang hub only after every gate passes, serve Tangerang/South Jakarta by collection first, and defer national franchising and battery-module repair.
