Indonesia is a huge market for smaller EVs

 China is the market for vehicle makers around the world. Sinkieland is just a minnow in the eyes of China as far as EV popularity is concern.

If you talk about Indonesia, that is a big matter. With a population of more than 284 million, that is not a small market to sniff at. Sure, Indonesia is still relatively poor and developing, but it is rising in the world in terms of affluence and the market is going to grow with it just like in Africa. Moreover, EVs are much cheaper than ICE vehicles however you look at it. China is also making electric motorcycles that should catch on in countries like Indonesia, Vietnam and other Indochina countries. Not to forget about Africa.

If the war in the Middle East escalated and Iran joins the war and if Israel does attack Iran's oil installations, that is going to result in oil reaching for the sky. And that scenario is going to make EVs a no brainer adoption in many countries without oil. And who is going to laugh all the way to the bank?

35 countries representing 5 billion people attended the BRICS Summit in Russia.

Tiny Singapore is ostracised because it hastily imposed unilateral sanctions on giant Russia without UN General Assembly. Thanks Vivian !!
