The conversion of fuel-powered cars to electric cars has been implemented, starting from public vehicles such as Transjakarta and even official vehicles.
"Electric vehicles in Jakarta will be used in stages. We have converted many public vehicles and official cars using electric energy," he explained.
To support and promote this program, the Jakarta Provincial Government has partnered with Energy and Mineral Resources Minister, Transportation Minister, National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas), and PT PLN.
