Polytron, an Indonesian company, has announced plans to expand its electric car sales network by establishing eight new showrooms across various major cities in Indonesia. The company’s Commercial Director, Tekno Wibowo, revealed that the initial phase of expansion will focus on Java Island, with four showrooms planned for cities such as Jakarta, Semarang, Bandung, and Surabaya.
The decision to create separate showrooms for electric cars marks a departure from Polytron’s existing electric motorcycle showrooms. Wibowo stated that discussions are already underway with potential dealers who have expressed interest in partnering with Polytron.
Polytron’s electric car, known as the Polytron G3 and G3+, boasts several advanced features, including 21 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) features that enhance driving safety and comfort. The vehicle is equipped with a 150 kW electric motor and can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds, with a top speed of 150 km/h. The car’s range is estimated to be up to 402 km on a single charge, based on CLTC calculations.
