RiderTua.com – HEV cars (hybrid cars) remain environmentally friendly cars that have been widely sold in Indonesia in recent years. The number is also increasing, and more and more manufacturers are offering various variants. However, HEV cars do not yet receive incentives like electric cars. It’s just that there is an opinion regarding the negative impact of hybrid car incentives on the BEV car market.
HEV Cars will Get Incentives
Sales of environmentally friendly cars in Indonesia are now experiencing quite rapid development compared to previous years. Especially for HEV cars, where this type of car is increasingly sought after by consumers because apart from its affordable price, its fuel efficiency is also better than ordinary petrol cars. Both mild hybrids and regular hybrids can sell up to thousands of units per month.
While electric cars now provide models at affordable prices, sales are still unable to catch up with sales of hybrid cars. From the practicality of its use to the limited supporting infrastructure, the BEV model does not sell more than 1,000 units per month. So there are incentives for electric cars, although this only applies to locally assembled cars.
Higher Sales
Even though they are environmentally friendly cars, HEV cars do not receive incentives. The reason at first was because this type of car could still produce emissions, although in the end it was proven that hybrid cars produced fewer emissions than ICE engines. But now another negative opinion has emerged regarding the implementation of incentives for hybrid cars, namely that it could have a negative impact on sales of electric cars.
It is true that there is a potential for incentives for HEV cars to have a negative impact on the BEV car market, but in reality hybrid cars are much more popular than electric cars. Apart from that, people still depend on petrol engined cars, but are still looking for cars that are more fuel efficient and of course have minimal emissions. Even so, HEV cars have always been considered the beginning of the overall electrification of cars.
