This year the market share is already 12 percent, which he said is an increase of more than 500 percent compared to 2023. According to him, this figure is a clear sign of the positive response of Indonesian consumers to the adoption and innovation of EV technology.
“This is a miracle in Indonesia. From 2 percent to 12 percent in less than two years,” said Zhao in Bogor, Thursday (11/12).

Zhao compared this achievement with the Chinese market.He said everyone knows that Chinese brands dominate the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) market globally.It is said that 68 percent of NEVs globally come from the Chinese market.
“From 2 percent to 12 percent, how long does it take in China? More than 8 years. But here it’s only two years,” said Zhao.
Apart from community support, according to Zhao, this achievement was also supported by the government so that the EV market could develop as it is today.
BYD
Zhao explained that BYD played a major role in the growth of Indonesian electric car sales.During January-October 2025, BYD and Denza sales are said to have reached 47,300 units.
This figure is proud because it is higher than the sales of all electric car brands throughout 2024 domestically, which is only 43 thousand units.
For 11 months, BYD was the sixth best-selling brand in Indonesia.Its position is behind the top five Japanese brands that have dominated the passenger car market for a long time, namely Toyota, Daihatsu, Honda, Mitsubishi and Suzuki.
