As a reminder, the BYD factory is reported to cost USD 1 billion or equivalent to Rp 16.2 trillion. It has a production capacity of up to 150 thousand electric cars a year.
Not only that, the presence of the BYD factory is expected to make Indonesia one of the world's EV production bases.
This is because BYD plans to export the nation's domestically-made electric four-wheeled vehicles abroad.
