Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2026 showcases a broad range of electric vehicles (EVs) from multiple brands, catering to the growing demand for eco-friendly transportation. Many models featured at the event are prepared to support the upcoming Lebaran homecoming, a highly anticipated travel period in the country.
However, not all electric vehicles displayed at IIMS 2026 are immediately available for delivery before Lebaran, which falls around mid-March. Some models remain on backorder or open only for pre-booking, requiring consumers to verify stock availability prior to purchase to ensure timely delivery.
Availability of Electric Vehicles at IIMS 2026
Geely stands out with its EX5 model ready for delivery, making it a viable option for consumers aiming to use an EV during Lebaran. Conversely, its EX2 and Zeekr models have deliveries scheduled post-Lebaran, in April. A sales representative explained, "Geely EX5 is ready, but EX2 deliveries start around April, and Zeekr is currently open for pre-booking."
Jaecoo presents a similar situation. The J5 model, despite high demand, is expected to be delivered from April onward, missing the Lebaran period. Meanwhile, the J7 and J8 models are available and ready for purchase. A Jaecoo staff member clarified, "While J5 is estimated for delivery starting March, the safest assumption is April. J7 and J8 units, however, are available now."
Chery offers a limited selection ready for immediate delivery, mainly within their J6 series. The J6 and certain color variants of the J6T (VIN 2025 models like red) are in stock, while black or grey versions may take until March for delivery. The E5 model is available only in limited quantities.
Most of the EV units ready for fast delivery correspond to production identification numbers from the previous year (VIN 2025). New production models (VIN 2026) still face limited availability and longer wait times.

Key Considerations for Buyers
Consumers interested in using electric vehicles for Lebaran travel must confirm the availability and delivery timeline of their chosen models. Advance booking is crucial due to high demand and production backlogs. Models with VIN 2025 are more readily available, while 2026 production units require waiting periods that may extend beyond the Lebaran schedule.
Leaders in the EV segment at IIMS stressed the importance of early confirmation for orders. One Geely sales agent advised customers to verify stock before placement to avoid disappointment during the peak season travel rush.
Infrastructure and Support for Lebaran EV Travel
Besides vehicle availability, charging infrastructure remains a vital factor for successful use of electric cars during Lebaran. Efforts to improve fast-charging stations along major travel routes are underway, aiming to support longer-distance travel with minimal downtime.
Event participants highlight ongoing collaboration between manufacturers and governmental bodies to ensure EV adoption is backed by adequate support, making electric vehicles a practical choice for Ramadan and Lebaran journeys.
Summary
IIMS 2026 illustrates a promising surge in electric vehicle options ready to serve Indonesian consumers during the upcoming Lebaran holiday season. A variety of models from BYD, Wuling, Geely, Jaecoo, and Chery are available, though some still face delivery delays. Buyers must act promptly and confirm availability to secure their units in time for the holiday travel peak.
As the EV market in Indonesia matures, these developments underscore government and industry commitment to cleaner transportation solutions. The combination of vehicle readiness and expanding charging infrastructure also signals improved feasibility for electric vehicle use during major cultural and travel events.
