Apart from the Cloud EV, Wuling has brought its entire lineup of electric vehicle models that are already available in the Indonesian market, including the Wuling Air EV and Binguo EV.
These models are crucial for the manufacturer in attracting consumers interested in electrified vehicles in Indonesia. Brian went on to explain:
“Besides the Cloud EV, we are also showcasing other electric cars, including the Air EV and Binguo EV. Both of these models were launched earlier, with the Air EV in August 2022 and the Binguo EV on December 15, 2023.”
Wuling plans to release the Cloud EV model to Indonesian consumers in the second quarter of 2024. The company is optimistic about the growth of the electric vehicle market in Indonesia, based on the positive response received from consumers. Wuling has yet to disclose details regarding the pricing.

Brian saw a noteworthy increase in the number of electric vehicle owners in Indonesia after Wuling’s launch of the Air EV. Wuling has sold the same car model overseas in addition to meeting the needs of domestic consumers. He said:
“For the population of Wuling electric cars, it’s around 15,000, with the most dominant category being the Air EV as it was the first to be launched. Thanks to Air EV and then Binguo, Wuling has become the number one EV brand in Indonesia.”
