JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Deliberations over the presidential regulation on accelerated development of national electric vehicles should focus on aligning research to the industry. However, this expectation requires regulations that fully support the national electric vehicle industry.

Researching battery cell production is an important step in electric vehicle development, as the battery accounts for almost half of manufacturing costs for electric vehicles.
