Abstract

Electric vehicles can reduce pollution and lower the use of fossil fuel. However, currently, in Indonesia, the supporting infrastructure for electric motorcycles is still very limited.  The lack of infrastructure charging station for electric motorcycles causes some problems for the community to access power. This research develops an idea of mobile charging station swap battery technology (MCSSB). Apart from preparing infrastructure battery swap for the community, MCSSB can be used as commercialization equipment for entrepreneurs. This study aims to determine the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of MCSSB.  The results of the development of technological innovations are at the feasibility study stage. It means that attention should be paid to the aspects for technological feasibility, such as operational aspects, market aspects, environmental aspects, and organizational aspects. The TRL calculation is at level 5, which means that the code validation and components are in a simulation environment.
