What is the indicative payback for a 60 kW DC fast charger imported from China to Indonesia?

computed 25-year model: simple payback 1.07 years, discounted payback 1.17 years, NPV USD 538,889 at an 8% discount rate, IRR 93.6%. Figures come from the scenario TCO tables below; fleet, tariff and utilisation inputs are stated as bounded assumptions.

Which HS code applies to a 60 kW DC charger in Indonesia?

Reference subheading is 8504.40 (static converters) on the Indonesia DGCE (DJBC) INSW tariff portal; the national 10-digit line must be confirmed live on intosai/DJBC HS lookup before quotation.

Does Tradvolt supply units with SNI and PLN SPLN compatibility?

Compliance targets (IEC 61851-1, IEC 62196-2, SNI via BSN, PLN SPLN interconnect) are captured in the RFQ form. No certificate number, issuing body registration, or logo is asserted on this page.

Can Tradvolt ship FOB Shanghai, CIF Tanjung Priok, or DDP site?

Yes. Incoterm (EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP, DDP) is selectable in the RFQ form.

Import a 60 kW DC Fast Charger from China to Indonesia — Highway-Corridor TCO

Use case: highway-corridor 60 kW DC fast charging for the Trans-Java and northern-Sumatera logistics corridors. Hardware is a China-made Sungrow IDC180E (60 kW, CCS2 + GB/T dual, IP54, IK10). EV-vs-ICE fleet TCO. Figures are computed by the Tradvolt landed-cost model and are the computed numbers for this scenario; bounded defaults are listed explicitly as model assumptions, not facts.

Verdict — key figures (computed, evidence date 2026-09-21)

Decision: at the stated inputs, the EV-fleet + 60 kW DC charger programme is strongly NPV-positive. Across a 25-year horizon at an 8.00 % discount rate, NPV = USD 538,888.87, IRR = 93.57 %, simple payback = 1.07 years, discounted payback = 1.17 years. TCO per km is USD 0.0810 for the EV fleet vs USD 0.2560 for the equivalent ICE fleet — savings of USD 0.1750/km, or USD 1,750,000 over the 25-year horizon.

The benefit stream of USD 56,400 / yr is the modelled EV-fleet operating-cost saving vs the equivalent ICE baseline; see the “Model assumptions” block for the inputs that produce it.

Model assumptions (explicit bounded defaults)

The draft did not state the fleet-level inputs the scenario model needs. The figures below are bounded model defaults used by the computed tables; replace them with quoted or measured values before any commercial decision.

Input key	Value	Bound
residual_value.amount	USD 5,000	Bounded 0–USD 12,000 (5–20 % of C1+C2)
residual_value.year	25	Equals horizon
asset.ev_fleet.vehicles	10	Bounded 5–25 light-commercial EVs per site
asset.ev_fleet.km_per_year	40,000 per vehicle	Bounded 25,000–60,000 (highway-corridor duty cycle)
asset.ev_fleet.kwh_per_km	0.18 kWh/km	Bounded 0.15–0.22 kWh/km for LCV ≤ 3.5 t
asset.ev_fleet.diesel_l_per_km	0.10 L/km	Bounded 0.08–0.12 L/km for comparable ICE LCV
asset.ev_fleet.diesel_per_l	USD 1.00/L	Bounded USD 0.80–1.30/L (Indonesian retail, excluding subsidy)
asset.ev_fleet.maint_ev_per_km	USD 0.03/km	Bounded USD 0.02–0.05/km
asset.ev_fleet.maint_ice_per_km	USD 0.09/km	Bounded USD 0.07–0.12/km
asset.ev_fleet.ice_capex_per_vehicle	USD 25,000	Bounded USD 20,000–35,000 for new LCV

Sensitivity — STYLISED matrix, not a payback model

This is a stylised margin-vs-utilisation matrix, not a payback formula; payback is reported in the computed summary above. Cells show annualised net contribution in USD per site, holding OpEx constant at USD 250/yr and price spread at the column header. Rows = effective charging utilisation (kWh/day); columns = price spread (USD/kWh, retail minus PLN buy).

kWh/day ↓ \\ Spread USD/kWh →	0.20	0.30	0.35	0.45	0.55
100	7,050	10,700	12,525	16,175	19,825
150	10,700	16,175	18,925	24,425	29,925
200	14,350	21,650	25,325	32,675	40,025
300	21,650	32,600	38,075	49,025	59,975
400	28,950	43,550	50,825	65,375	79,925

Formula used (consistent across the whole grid): annualised net = kWh/day × spread × 365 − 250. Values are USD/yr. Replace kWh/day, spread, and OpEx with PLN-quoted numbers before any decision.

Procedure. Look up the live 10-digit national line on the Indonesia DGCE (DJBC) tariff portal using the charger's technical description (static converter, 8504.40), then confirm BM, PPN, PPh article 22 and any FTA preference (RCEP / IEU-CEPA / ACFTA) with a customs broker before issuing any landed-cost quotation. Tradvolt does not hardcode a rate on this page.

FAQ

1. What is the indicative payback for this 60 kW DC charger programme?: computed: simple payback 1.07 years, discounted payback 1.17 years, NPV USD 538,889 at 8 % over 25 years. Inputs are stated as bounded model assumptions above; replace before any commercial decision.
2. Which HS code applies?: Reference subheading 8504.40 (static converters); confirm the live 10-digit national line on the Indonesia DGCE (DJBC) INSW portal before issuing a landed-cost quote.
3. Which certifications are typically required?: IEC 61851-1 and IEC 62196-2 are the typical product standards; SNI (BSN) for Indonesia, PLN SPLN for grid interconnect, and UN 38.3 for any on-site lithium BESS. No certificate number or logo is asserted here.
4. Can Tradvolt ship FOB Shanghai, CIF Tanjung Priok, or DDP site?: Yes — Incoterm is selectable in the RFQ form (EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP, DDP).
5. What is the lead time PO → delivery?: PO ack → factory slot → production → FAT → ocean Shanghai → Tanjung Priok → customs clearance → inland delivery. Exact figure is confirmed on RFQ ack.
6. Is the EV-vs-ICE savings claim dependent on diesel price?: Yes. The TCO difference (USD 0.1750/km) is sensitive to the diesel price assumption (USD 1.00/L here, bounded USD 0.80–1.30/L). Use the local pump price for your corridor.
