Indonesia is the largest and fastest-growing electric vehicle (EV) market in Southeast Asia. However, the market faces numerous challenges, including complex terrain, monsoon climates, high humidity, and worsening urban traffic congestion. To address these issues, REPT BATTERO has teamed up with Wuling and Indonesia and partnered with Wending Technology to launch a custom electric vehicle power battery solution specifically designed for the Indonesian market, aiming to enhance the safety, stability, and range of EVs.
As an archipelago, Indonesia not only leads the electric vehicle market in Southeast Asia but also presents a unique challenge for the EV industry due to its diverse climate and geographical conditions. The heavy traffic congestion in Jakarta and frequent rainstorms require EVs to have higher energy efficiency and longer ranges. Additionally, the high temperatures and humidity in the island regions put greater demands on the performance and safety of batteries. To meet these demands, the collaboration between REPT BATTERO and Wuling and Indonesia offers a tailored solution that addresses the unique battery needs of local users in harsh conditions.
This new power battery, jointly developed by REPT BATTERO、Wuling and Indonesia and integrated with advanced technology from Wending, marks the first mass-produced battery in Indonesia. It will provide powerful support for Wuling’s “ABC” series and future new energy vehicle models. Key innovations of this battery include:
1. Innovative L-Terminal Design: Unlike traditional U-terminals, the L-terminal design effectively prevents internal short circuits caused by vibrations, ensuring stability on rugged terrain.
2. Outstanding Safety: The battery has passed rigorous safety tests, including short-circuit, leakage, lithium deposition, and fire risk assessments. It even remains operational after passing penetration tests (with a 1/3 penetration depth), ensuring the EV’s safety in harsh environments.
3. Proven Reliability: This battery has been successfully applied to 2.4 million new energy vehicles in China, achieving a record of zero self-ignition. It has now expanded to the Indonesian market to meet the country's tough climate conditions.
To better adapt to Indonesia’s climate and geographical features, the battery’s production takes into account several critical factors:
1. Waterproof Durability for Monsoon Seasons: Ensures the battery’s safety and reliability in heavy rain conditions.
2. Heat and Humidity Resistance for Tropical Climates: The battery can effectively withstand high temperatures and humidity, maintaining stable operation.
3. Extended Battery Lifespan: Enhances durability to address the impact of frequent starts and stops due to urban congestion, ultimately prolonging battery life.
As advocates for sustainable energy, REPT BATTERO and Wending Technology have not only provided a tailored solution for the Indonesian market but also contributed to global EV market innovation and the decarbonization process.
In China, this battery has been used in over 2.4 million new energy vehicles, setting a record for zero self-ignition. In Indonesia, the collaboration between REPT BATTERO and Wending Technology will further enhance the safety and reliability of local electric vehicles, driving the widespread adoption of EVs across Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
