Event overview

Overview

EV & Charging Indonesia is the 6th Indonesia International Electric Vehicle, Technology & Component Exhibition, scheduled for 26–28 May 2027 at Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo) Kemayoran. It is a trade-only B2B show covering electric cars, buses, trucks and motorcycles, charging infrastructure, batteries, powertrains, components, manufacturing systems and supporting software.

The 2027 edition is organised by GEM Indonesia and co-located with INAPA, INABIKE, Transport & Logistics Indonesia and Forklift Indonesia, giving visitors a wider automotive, logistics and equipment footprint in one venue. The organiser projects 150 exhibiting companies, 25,000 trade visitors and 25,000 sqm of net exhibition space. Those are forward-looking figures, not audited 2027 results.

The event's value is as a regional sourcing and market-entry platform: Indonesian distributors, fleet operators, charge-point operators, manufacturers and policy-linked buyers meet suppliers from across Asia. It is most useful to companies selling into the Indonesian EV build-out, and less relevant to consumer or lifestyle buyers because admission is restricted to trade professionals.

TL;DR

16th edition, 26–28 May 2027, JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta.

4Co-located with INAPA, INABIKE, Transport & Logistics Indonesia and Forklift Indonesia.
5Covers EVs, charging, batteries, powertrain, components and EV manufacturing.

Why visit

Visit to compare EV models, charging hardware, battery and powertrain suppliers, and manufacturing equipment in one hall; to meet Indonesian distributors, fleet operators and charge-point operators; and to test whether a 2027 market entry or sourcing plan is realistic. Co-location with INAPA and INABIKE adds automotive-aftermarket and two-wheeler buyers who would otherwise require separate trips.

Why exhibit

Exhibit if you need Indonesian distribution, a local assembly or service partner, fleet or CPO introductions, or visibility with government-linked buyers. The show is compact and trade-focused, and the co-located halls broaden the buyer mix. It is less compelling if your product is consumer-facing, your ASEAN strategy is already covered from Singapore or Bangkok, or you cannot support Indonesian after-sales.

Testimonials

This exhibition has left a very deep impression on us. Indonesia has a very large population, and during our visit we have met many promising potential customers. We hope to further expand our cooperation in advancing the EV charging industry.
Andy Zhang · Exhibitor

Overall, our impression of the exhibition is positive. The venue itself is suitable and well organized, although there are a few areas that could be improved.
Hendradi Prasetyo (Tyo) · Marketing

Impact

A bigger and stronger platform

The show sits inside a cluster of Indonesian automotive and logistics exhibitions rather than standing alone. Its commercial impact comes from co-location: a supplier can meet EV, aftermarket, two-wheeler, logistics and equipment buyers without a second trip. For the Indonesian side, it is a compact shop window for batteries, charging and manufacturing equipment that supports local assembly and local-content goals.

Audience quality

High-value decision-makers

Audience quality is likely highest for distributors, fleet and infrastructure buyers with live 2027 budgets. The trade-only, under-18 rule filters consumer traffic. Co-located halls can dilute relevance, so exhibitors should qualify badge type and buying role rather than count raw stand visitors.

Exhibitor outcomes

Real business growth

ROI depends on distribution readiness. Suppliers with an Indonesian partner, spare-parts plan and Bahasa materials can convert meetings quickly; those still testing the market should attend first as visitors. The 150-exhibitor projection implies a manageable floor where serious buyers can be met repeatedly over three days.

Intelligence

Market context

Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.

Southeast Asia — Indonesia

Why it matters

Indonesia is the region’s largest vehicle market and is building a local EV supply chain rather than relying only on imports. GAIKINDO data reported by ANTARA put 2025 BEV sales at 103,931 units, up from 43,188 in 2024, with BEV share at 12.9%. That growth creates demand for charging hardware, batteries, powertrains and manufacturing equipment — the categories this show concentrates in Jakarta.

Industry trends

Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

Local content and assembly

TKDN local-content rules push global suppliers to find Indonesian assembly, component and service partners rather than simply shipping finished vehicles.

Source

BEV volume crossing into the mainstream

BEV sales more than doubled in 2025 and reached 12.9% of national vehicle sales, moving the segment beyond early-adopter volumes.

Source

Charging and grid build-out

Fleet and public charging demand is pulling utilities, CPOs and equipment suppliers into the same procurement conversations as vehicle makers.

Source

Price competition and Chinese entrants

More Chinese EV brands and competitive pricing are compressing margins, raising the value of local distribution and after-sales differentiation.
