Save 70% on Costs with Maximum Performance: Electric Motorcycles vs Gasoline Motorcycles
Monday, Feb 24 2025
Many people hesitate to switch to electric motorcycles due to concerns about cost and performance. But did you know that an electric motorcycle can save you millions of rupiah each year? Let’s break down the numbers!
Save on Operational Costs
In one year, a standard gasoline motorcycle rider typically spends around Rp 6 million on fuel, while a 250cc maxi scooter could cost up to Rp 12 million. In comparison, an electric motorcycle only requires about Rp 2 million in electricity for daily use. If you ride 50 km per day, your monthly expenses could drop significantly.
| Factor | Electric Motorcycle | Standard Gasoline Motorcycle | 250cc Maxi Scooter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy cost per 100 km | Rp 5,400 | Rp 25,000 | Rp 40,000 |
| Annual energy cost | Rp 2,000,000 | Rp 6,000,000 | Rp 12,000,000 |
| Annual maintenance cost | Rp 500,000 | Rp 2,000,000 | Rp 4,000,000 |
| Vehicle tax | Rp 0 | Rp 350,000 | Min. Rp 1,700,000 |
For example, if you ride a 250cc scooter for five years, fuel costs could reach Rp 60 million. On the other hand, with an electric motorcycle, your total expenses would be just around Rp 10 million. Imagine what you could do with the savings!
Save on Energy Costs: Charging vs. Fuel
An electric motorcycle consumes about 4.7 kWh per 100 km. With a household electricity rate of Rp 1,200 per kWh, charging costs only Rp 5,400 per 100 km. By comparison:
- A standard gasoline motorcycle (40 km/l) requires around Rp 25,000 for the same distance.
- A 250cc maxi scooter (with higher fuel consumption) costs about Rp 40,000 per 100 km.
If you ride 1,000 km per month:
- Electric motorcycle: Around Rp 54,000 per month.
- Standard gasoline motorcycle: Around Rp 250,000 per month.
- 250cc maxi scooter: Up to Rp 400,000 per month.
That’s over 70% savings every month if you switch to an electric motorcycle!
Lower Maintenance and Taxes
Electric motorcycles don’t require oil changes, air filters, or spark plugs, making maintenance much cheaper than gasoline motorcycles. Plus, vehicle tax for electric motorcycles in Indonesia is lower than conventional motorcycles. You can save up to Rp 1.5 million annually in maintenance compared to a 250cc maxi scooter—less time and money spent at the repair shop.
