If you're thinking about switching to an electric vehicle, it's time to monitor this one.

The first to steal the spotlight: an electric car from Polytron. Yes, the brand that we used to know from TVs and refrigerators is now ready to hit the streets. Not just for fun, because they will officially release their electric car on May 6, 2025. The design is sleek, futuristic, and it is said to have a voice command feature that has been adjusted to the local language. So, if you say "turn on the AC," it immediately obeys. Sophisticated but still down to earth, like a dream match. 

Regarding the price, Polytron comes with two scheme options: battery rental option and direct purchase option including the battery. For those who want to be lighter at the beginning, the rental option can be an attractive choice—Polytron G3 is priced at around IDR 299 million, and the G3+ variant is around IDR 339 million, with a battery subscription fee of around IDR 1.2 million per month. But if you are more comfortable having everything right away, G3 can be purchased for IDR 419 million, while G3+ is priced at IDR 459 million. Just choose according to your style and needs.

Moving on to the name that is increasingly appearing on the streets: Seres 3. This electric SUV has been around for a long time, but this May it got a new touch, aka a facelift. The style is calmer on the outside, but the engine is more ferocious on the inside. The range can be more than 300 km, suitable for those who like to travel between cities without having to think about plugs every two hours. The interior has also gone up a class, making the trip more comfortable even when stuck in traffic. The estimated price of the Seres 3 facelift starts from IDR 430 million, still in the middle level but already has a premium feel.

Now, if you are more of the "need a big car to carry a lot" team, Wuling has a surprise. They released the Wuling EV Van, a boxy car that can be used for many things. From small businesses, logistics, to the idea of ​​making a camper van for vacations, it can do it all. Although the shape is not sporty, it is a champion in terms of function. The battery is long-lasting, operational costs are economical, and the cabin is spacious like a studio boarding house. The estimated price for the Wuling EV Van is around IDR 320-350 million, depending on the variant and battery capacity.


Those who like to look different will definitely immediately glance at the Mazda EZ 60. This electric SUV comes with a design that is like a futuristic car in the movies. The body lines are smooth, the lights are sharp, and the interior? Automatically makes you drool. Mazda provides semi-autonomous driving features and super personal cabin settings. It's not like driving a car anymore, but more like riding a personal road assistant. Price? It can reach IDR 800 million to close to IDR 1 billion, but if you look at the features, it feels worth every rupiah.


What's more exciting, all of these cars are not just about appearance. They also come with the latest generation of batteries that charge faster and last longer. So for those of you who are still hesitant about "is it a hassle to charge an EV?", now you don't need to worry. Charging time is more efficient, and charging stations are also increasing in big cities. Electric cars are increasingly reasonable, not just for style.

May 2025 will be proof that the EV market in Indonesia is getting more alive. Local manufacturers are starting to be confident, foreign players are increasingly aggressive. This means that consumers have more choices. Want something practical? There is. Want something luxurious? There is. Want something that can fit gallons, cardboard boxes, and laundry? There is also. The world of EVs is now not only for early adopters, but is ready for all groups.

So, which team are you on? The local and brand new Polytron, the stable and elegant Seres 3, the reliable Wuling EV Van for business and daily needs, or the Mazda EZ 60 that makes everyone look when you pass by? Whatever your choice, one thing is for sure: the future is starting to accelerate. You just need to prepare your driving license and the mentality to leave gasoline behind.
