The 2022 IEMS is expected to become a platform to conduct electric vehicle transactions and to raise Indonesians' interest toward this type of vehicle.
BRIN has become the only agency that currently focuses on developing technology research after the integration of several research institutions, such as LIPI, BATAN, LAPAN, and BPPT.
He urged actors in the electric vehicle industry to view BRIN as not only a test laboratory but also a cooperation partner with the private sector.
"We prepare one test drive area with proper and spacious location as well as charging station test land, so that visitors can see the electric vehicle charging technology," Tambunan noted.
