Jakarta, 10 March 2025 – PT PLN (Persero) ensures the smooth journey of electric vehicle (EV) travelers during Eid al-Fitr 1446 Hijriah by providing 1,000 Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLU) on the Trans Java-Sumatra homecoming route, spread across 615 strategic locations and equipped with 24-hour non-stop standby personnel.

PLN Retail and Commerce Director, Edi Srimulyanti said, the presence of SPKLU at various points is the company's main focus during Ramadan until Eid al-Fitr 1446 H, considering the increasing number of EV users. In Eid 2025, EV homecoming travelers are projected to increase by 500 percent or as many as 21,570 vehicles compared to last year which reached 4,314 vehicles.

"As the backbone of national electricity, PLN is ready to fully support people who travel home using EVs. We have conducted a comprehensive assessment and mapped strategic points to ensure that EV travelers can easily access SPKLU during their trip," said Edi.

Edi explained that there are a total of 3,529 SPKLU units operated by PLN with partners, spread across 2,400 points throughout Indonesia. In detail, the number of SPKLU in Sumatra is 431 units, Java 2,448 units, Bali 166 units, Kalimantan 215 units, Sulawesi 145 units, Maluku 26 units, Nusa Tenggara 72 units, and Papua 26 units.

"To ensure that travelers are comfortable in charging, PLN has also prepared 12 mobile SPKLU units spread across the Trans Java-Sumatra route. The existence of these units is also important, especially in helping EV travelers if they run out of power on the way," Edi continued.

Technological support is also provided through the PLN Mobile application, which is equipped with the Electric Vehicle Digital Services (EVDS) feature to help users find the nearest SPKLU location.

The PLN Mobile application is also equipped with a Trip Planner feature that helps users plan travel routes and determine the best location points for optimal charging.

"Customers will have no trouble finding SPKLU. Through the features on PLN Mobile, they can easily search for SPKLU locations and plan charging with the Trip Planner feature that we provide," concluded Edi.

With optimal infrastructure and service readiness, PLN is committed to driving the EV ecosystem in Indonesia and ensuring a safe, comfortable, and worry-free homecoming experience for EV users.
