What Localization Really Means for Indonesia’s EV and Energy Industry — And How Pingalax Enables Production, Not Just Compliance

When people hear “localization” in the energy or EV sector, it’s often seen as a way to meet regulatory benchmarks like 40% TKDN. But at Pingalax, localization means something broader: enabling Indonesian partners to build, adapt, and scale the full technology stack behind chargers, energy storage, inverters, and integrated energy platforms.

At Pingalax, localization is not just a compliance checkbox. It’s a long-term strategy to support Indonesia in building domestic capabilities — not only for EV chargers, but across the full stack of digital energy solutions: charging modules, power controllers, chipsets, smart OS, PV inverters, and energy storage systems (ESS).

Localization = Production Strategy, Not Just TKDN Fulfillment

Indonesia’s push for TKDN (Tingkat Komponen Dalam Negeri) has created momentum for cleaner, more self-reliant industrial development. But real localization doesn’t stop at assembling imported parts.

Pingalax defines localization as more than just a process — it’s a layered approach involving upstream technology, hands-on knowledge transfer, and ecosystem readiness. Let’s break it down:

1. Manufacturing Core Components in Indonesia

Rather than relying on imported PCBs or semi-finished assemblies, Pingalax enables local partners to manufacture essential components such as:

  • Power modules that manage current flow, voltage stability, and safety in EV chargers and inverters.
  • Controller boards handle the software logic, connectivity, and interface of charging systems.
  • Custom chipsets, designed by Pingchuang Semiconductor, drive AI-based energy management and performance optimization.

By shifting production of these components into Indonesia, we move from local compliance to local innovation, upgrading the nation’s role from assembler to integrator.

2. Transferring Production Knowledge

We don’t just supply designs — we share the logic behind them.

Pingalax works closely with OEM and ODM partners to:

  • Provide technical documentation such as Gerber files, BOMs, and test protocols.
  • Train production teams on engineering standards, quality control, and performance tuning.
  • Support regulatory alignment with OCPP, SNI, and TKDN requirements.

The result? Partners who not only assemble our tech, but can maintain, adapt, and improve it over time.

3. Supporting Full Production Setup

Building capability isn’t just about components — it’s also about process.

That’s why we offer support for:

  • SMT (Surface Mount Technology) line setup, including layout planning, machine spec recommendations, and workflow integration.
  • Production SOPs, tailored for local factory conditions.
  • Engineering mentorship, during pilot phases and certification trials.

This hands-on support ensures localization is not a burden, but a competitive edge.

4. TKDN Readiness Across the Ecosystem

While most localization efforts stop at SPKLU, Pingalax prepares partners to meet TKDN in multiple verticals, including:

  • AC/DC EV chargers (Race, Shell, Standard, Prime series),
  • Energy Storage Systems (ESS),
  • Photovoltaic inverters.

This positions our partners for multi-project eligibility — from public infrastructure to private deployments and exports.

What Real Localization Enables

  • Reduced import dependency → Faster, cheaper, and more resilient supply chain.
  • Cross-product TKDN eligibility → Not just for one project, but for an entire portfolio of clean energy products.
  • Industry partnerships with depth → Local OEM/ODM partners gain real tech ownership and scale-up potential.
  • Access to government projects → Meet mandatory thresholds for SPKLU, ESDM, and PLN-backed programs.
  • Creation of high-skilled jobs → Building not only factories, but also a next-gen tech workforce.

What Pingalax Enables in Localization

1. Full Transfer of Core Technology:

  • Controller boards, power modules, and key charging components
  • Documentation, firmware, and training for SMT assembly
  • Chip-level integration paths (where applicable)

2. Infrastructure Setup Support:

  • Guidance for line setup, testing environments, and tooling specs
  • Support for localized quality control and certification prep

3. Smart OS Localization:

  • Pingalax OS can run on Indonesian cloud/servers
  • Integrated with local billing platforms and applications
  • Customizable UI, OCPP-based backend, and government-ready interoperability

The Bigger Picture: Localization Is a Business Enabler

For Indonesia, this isn’t just about EV infrastructure. It’s about building sovereignty in energy technology.

OEM and industrial partners who localize through Pingalax can:

  • Operate production with lower cost structures
  • Meet regulatory targets (40% TKDN)
  • Scale products across EV charging, solar, and ESS categories
  • Prepare for domestic and regional expansion with more agile control

Final Thoughts: For Partners, Not Just Buyers

Localization at Pingalax isn’t about setting up factories ourselves. It’s about enabling capable Indonesian partners to build technology businesses of their own.

As we support the country’s energy transformation, our goal is to deliver more than products — we deliver access to production logic, technology design, and long-term support.
