PT Jakarta Propertindo (Jakpro) is renovating Mall Pluit Junction in North Jakarta, with plans to transform it into the first Electric Vehicle (EV) Center in the city. The renovation will temporarily close the mall, but Hotel Fave, which is part of the same complex, will remain operational.

The transformation is part of a broader beautification project to modernize the mall and align it with evolving industry trends.

Jakpro’s Director of Engineering and Development, Dian Takdir Badrsyah, clarified that this renovation is not a permanent closure but a step toward making the mall more relevant to modern needs.

The revamped mall will be rebranded as the EV Indonesia Center, which will serve as a retail and educational hub focused on electric vehicles.

Features of EV Indonesia Center: Retail, Education, and EV Ecosystem Support

The EV Indonesia Center will feature integrated facilities such as an electric vehicle showroom, charging stations, after-sales services, and educational spaces designed for families and children.

The goal is to make the center a destination for consumers to learn about and transition to electric vehicles.

Badrsyah highlighted the significance of the project, stating, “Mall Pluit Junction will return with a new face as the EV Indonesia Center, a retail and educational hub supporting the national electric vehicle industry".

Strategic Move in Line with Indonesia’s Push for 2 Million Electric Vehicles by 2025

The transformation of Mall Pluit aligns with the Indonesian government's target of having 2 million electric vehicles on the road by 2025.

The EV Indonesia Center will support this goal by providing infrastructure and resources to promote the adoption of electric vehicles.

Originally known as a community mall serving the Pluit area, Mall Pluit had been a popular destination in the early 2000s.

With its new focus, it will play a pivotal role in supporting the electric vehicle ecosystem and contributing to Indonesia's green transportation goals.
