Building a Competitive Advantage for Indonesia in the Development of the Regional EV Battery Chain

In the process of the electrification of the vehicle industry, an important issue is to adapt production to new technological solutions and to achieve a break-even point in the production costs of an electric vehicle in the short term compared to its traditional counterparts. By the end of 2020, 10...
