Meanwhile, on the same occasion, the Minister of Cooperatives and SMEs (Menkop UKM) Teten Masduki stated that the electric vehicle or EV industry in Indonesia is capable of creating a new economy and great opportunities for MSMEs in creating innovative jobs.

I am optimistic that we can compete with big brands.” from abroad, both in terms of price and quality,” continued Teten Masduki.
