Nusantara, the future capital of Indonesia, will feature electric charging lanes system on the city’s roads. This will allow electric cars to be charged while they are being driven on the lanes using magnetic induction technology. The cables will be hidden under the lanes and generate an electromagnetic field, connected to special equipment inside electric cars to convert it into electricity. The inside of this lane will also be equipped with an intercom system to determine when a vehicle is approaching the lane to start the charging process.
This is part of IKN Infrastructure Development Task Force’s plan to ensure that all of the vehicles in the city are sustainable. International combustion engine (ICE) vehicles will not be allowed to operate in Nusantara in a move to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the new capital city.
Additionally, the Government of Indonesia is also planning to restrict the use of private vehicles and is making necessary amendments to its infrastructure development plans, budget, and the Traffic Law.
