Indonesia's Electric Vehicle (EV) Industry on the Brink: $2.7B in Investments Under Threat A new tax imposed by the Indonesian government on electric vehicles (EVs) has sent shockwaves through the industry, threatening to derail $2.7 billion in investments made by major players.

As the government seeks to balance its finances, industry leaders are urging policymakers to reconsider the tax to avoid a potential economic backlash.
