The MoU further strengthens ESB's efforts and commitment to creating a massive EV ecosystem by developing technological innovations and battery infrastructure. To date, ESB has consistently strengthened its EV infrastructure by expanding Volta electric motorcycle’s Battery Swap System (SGB).  SGB stations are available at more than 250 points in various regions in Indonesia.

Toto Nugroho, President Director of IBC, said, “The MOU signing between IBC, GESITS, ESB, and ALVA is IBC's initiative in developing integrated battery and electric vehicle systems in Indonesia. We encourage standardization of electric vehicle infrastructure, including batteries, as this will be very beneficial not only for manufacturers but will also provide convenience to find charging stations or battery replacements, lower costs, accelerate the growth of the electric vehicle industry, and positively impact the environment for recycling process if the battery has been standardized.”

Abraham Theofilus, Director of PT Energi Selalu Baru, said, “As a company engaged in the development of Public Electric Battery Vehicle Replacement Station (Stasiun Penukaran Baterai Kendaraan Listrik Umum, “SPBKLU”) with the largest number of batteries in Indonesia, we are pleased with the agreement made between ESB and IBC. We believe this is a concrete step towards developing the EV industry ecosystem in Indonesia. With IBC's joint efforts and support, ESB is confident that it can further enhance EV infrastructure's capabilities and accelerate the transition to clean energy and a more sustainable future in Indonesia's transportation sector. Going forward, ESB will continue collaborating with various parties to welcome an environmentally-based electric vehicle era jointly.”

Through various strategic collaborations and the support of MCAS Group’s ecosystem, we hope to become a leading player in this industry to assist in the transition to electric vehicles in Indonesia.”
