Home vs public charging in Indonesia — the 5 cheapest EVs to charge
Public and DC fast charging in Indonesia is billed per session by each network and varies widely, so we model it the way the kernel does on every cost page: 2.5× the home rate — about Rp 3.750/kWh against Rp 1.500/kWh at home. That is a planning estimate, not any network's tariff. Here is what it does to the 5 cheapest-to-charge models we price in Indonesia:
| Electric model | Per 100 km at home | Public (≈2.5× home) | Extra per year if all-public |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wuling BinguoEV (Pro 410) | Rp 22.159 | Rp 55.398 | +Rp 3.988.636 |
| Wuling Air ev (Long Range) | Rp 23.523 | Rp 58.807 | +Rp 4.234.091 |
| BYD Dolphin (Dynamic) | Rp 23.864 | Rp 59.659 | +Rp 4.295.455 |
| MG4 EV (Magnify 51 kWh) | Rp 23.864 | Rp 59.659 | +Rp 4.295.455 |
| BYD Atto 3 (Standard Range) | Rp 24.716 | Rp 61.790 | +Rp 4.448.864 |
- Wuling BinguoEV (Pro 410) is the cheapest EV to charge in Indonesia — Rp 22.159 per 100 km at home — and at the public estimate (Rp 55.398) it still beats the Rp 91.000 of petrol a 7 L/100 km car burns over the same distance.
- A Wuling Air ev (Long Range) draws 13.8 kWh per 100 km, so home charging runs Rp 23.523; at the public estimate (Rp 58.807) it still beats the Rp 91.000 of petrol a 7 L/100 km car burns over the same distance.
- For the BYD Dolphin (Dynamic), public-only charging would add about Rp 4.295.455 a year at 12.000 km/year over charging at home (Rp 23.864 vs Rp 59.659 per 100 km); even then it stays under the Rp 91.000 a 7 L/100 km petrol car needs.
- An MG4 EV (Magnify 51 kWh) draws 14 kWh per 100 km, so home charging runs Rp 23.864; at the public estimate (Rp 59.659) it still beats the Rp 91.000 of petrol a 7 L/100 km car burns over the same distance.
- For the BYD Atto 3 (Standard Range), public-only charging would add about Rp 4.448.864 a year at 12.000 km/year over charging at home (Rp 24.716 vs Rp 61.790 per 100 km); even then it stays under the Rp 91.000 a 7 L/100 km petrol car needs.
Even at the 2.5× public estimate, all 5 of these models still undercut the Rp 91.000 of petrol a typical 7 L/100 km car burns per 100 km — in Indonesia the charging case survives without a driveway. Our 5-year totals on each model page assume 80% home / 20% public charging at this same multiple — these two columns are the ends of that range.
