On the other hand, the battery replacement function shall be performed by public electric vehicle battery replacement stations. Public electric vehicle charging stations will be provided by entities that possess a General Electric Supply License or a Sales Electric Supply License. The charging infrastructure will be developed and deployed as part of allocated task to PLN, and PLN may collaborate with other entities to accomplish the task. The types of charging technologies that will be used at public electric vehicle charging stations include (a) normal charging, (b) fast charging, and (c) ultra-fast charging.
The Article 20 of the Regulation provides that PLN as a public charging station or electric vehicle battery replacement station entity must craft a roadmap for the infrastructure development. It includes (a) the charging locations and capacities of each public electric vehicle charging station and electric vehicle battery replacement station, (b) the business scheme for public electric vehicle charging stations as defined in Article 11, and (c) the business scheme for public electric vehicle battery replacement stations as referred to in Article 15. PLN must submit to the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, through the Director General, a roadmap for the infrastructure deployment of public electric vehicle charging station or electric vehicle battery replacement station within six months of the date of promulgation of the Regulation.
