Looking at the numbers, a 5-million-rupiah subsidy isn't small at all. With the technical readiness already in place on the industry ministry's side, being stuck waiting on a single finance rule is a classic case of policy gridlock. Looking at the numbers rather than the feeling, delays like this risk buyers simply holding off on purchases.

With policies like this, the announcement always seems to come well before the action.

Delays like this quietly slow down EV adoption more than people realize.

I bet a lot of people are actually holding off buying while waiting for this.

Saying they're 'ready' means nothing until we know when it actually kicks in.

5 million rupiah is roughly $310 — that's a bigger nudge than it sounds.
