"PLN is ready to fully support people who make the Eid homecoming trip using EVs," PLN Retail and Commerce Director Edi Srimulyanti told ANTARA here on Monday.
To ensure a smooth homecoming journey for EV users, PLN has prepared one thousand Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLUs) on the Trans Java-Sumatra homecoming routes.
Srimulyanti explained that PLN, along with its partners, operates 3,529 SPKLUs distributed across 2,400 locations nationwide.
Specifically, the distribution of SPKLU units includes 431 in Sumatra, 2,448 in Java, 166 in Bali, 215 in Kalimantan, 145 in Sulawesi, 26 in Maluku, 72 in Nusa Tenggara, and 26 in Papua.
"PLN has also prepared 12 mobile SPKLU units spread across the Trans Java-Sumatra routes. Their presence is also important, especially in helping EV users if they run out of power on the way," she remarked.
The PLN Mobile application offers technological support, featuring Electric Vehicle Digital Services (EVDS) that assist users in locating the nearest SPKLU location.
Additionally, the application includes a Trip Planner feature to help users plan routes and identify the most optimal charging locations for their vehicles.
With optimal infrastructure and service preparedness, PLN is dedicated to fostering the EV ecosystem in Indonesia and ensuring EV users have a safe, comfortable, and stress-free travel experience during their homecoming journeys.
