The Electric Vehicle Festival, or “EV Fest,” will be held again this September with hopes of boosting electric vehicle usage in Bali.
The event supports clean and green tourism as well as the target of net zero emissions by 2060.
Eric Rossi Priyo Nugroho, General Manager of PLN UID Bali, stated that PLN fully supports the event organized by the Dewata Electric Motor Association (Adamolis) community in collaboration with SRE Udayana.
He explained that the festival is not just entertainment but also a momentum to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in Bali.
According to Bisnisbali, “We invite the public, especially the younger generation, to participate in Bali EV Fest 2025. By attending this event, we jointly promote an environmentally friendly transportation ecosystem and support the net zero emission target by 2060,” Eric said.
Targeting 7000 visitors
As part of its support, PLN is offering discounted tickets for the special performance by the national band Juicy Luicy at EV Fest via the PLN Mobile app, priced at IDR 80,000 instead of the normal IDR 150,000.
Eko Sudaryono, Marketing Strategy Manager of PLN UID Bali, emphasized that PLN’s support aligns with accelerating the energy transition in Bali.
“Bali EV Fest provides education about electric vehicles to the public,” he said.
The two-day festival targets over 7,000 visitors. Besides music and competitions, the event features EV Night Performing a night exhibition of electric vehicles combined with local Balinese music, offering a unique experience for attendees.
Various exciting activities such as electric vehicle test drives, electric motorcycle modification contests, creative competitions, and eco-friendly product exhibitions are also available.
The electric vehicle ecosystem in Bali is continuously promoted to support Bali’s Net Zero Emission target by 2045, 15 years ahead of the national target. The festival, held at Renon Field on September 26-27, 2025, aims to attract around 7,000 visitors.
According to Detikbali, “Our hope is that the mindset shift from fuel-based vehicles to battery-based vehicles can be realized in Bali,” Eko said.
Educational activities include coaching clinics for electric motorcycle conversions and electric motorcycle exhibitions, with experts on EVs present to help the public gain deeper understanding.
“We hope this will facilitate the exchange of ideas and information among the community, as well as provide a platform for entertainment,” Eko added.
He stressed the importance of expanding the EV ecosystem so that Bali can become the first island with 100 percent electric vehicle usage.
With adequate infrastructure, the trend toward EV use is growing, supporting Bali’s transformation into a green tourism destination.
“Bali has already begun transitioning to healthier vehicles and has great potential to become green tourism,” he concluded
