The program is part of the government's effort to kickstart the domestic charging station industry as mandated by a 2019 presidential regulation. On Wednesday, PLN's acting president director Sripeni Inten Cahyani and the president director of BMW Group Indonesia, Ramesh Divyanathan, demonstrated the charging station using a BMW i3S electric car at the BPPT building in Jakarta.
