At the PEVS press conference here on Monday, Moeldoko noted that several producers had already developed supporting parts for electric cars, such as battery and dynamo.
However, they do not have the space to exhibit their works. Thus, the PEVS can serve as a platform to showcase these parts, he remarked.
PEVS will also offer a good momentum for the Indonesian electric vehicle industry to immediately take a leap forward, he affirmed.
