Chinese electric vehicle makers including BYD, Chery, and DFSK introduced their first plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models in Indonesia at an automotive show near Jakarta that opened to the public on July 30. The Chinese brands are making a foray into hybrid electric cars, as uncertainty lingers over the Indonesian government’s plan to introduce a new incentive for EVs. While Japanese brands like Toyota and Mitsubishi Motors, as well as their South Korean rival Hyundai, mostly stick to conventional hybrid models, the Chinese companies show a preference for PHEVs. DFSK, as well as Chery sub-brands Lepas and Jetour, introduced PHEV models aimed at Indonesian customers at the 11-day automotive show. Mitsubishi Motors introduced a hybrid version of its subcompact crossover SUV, the Xforce, its first hybrid car model in Indonesia.
