Track: Systems Dynamics

Abstract

The Indonesian government continues to launch a battery-based electric vehicle acceleration program. It is estimated that there will be significant growth in sales of battery-based electric vehicle (EVB). The battery costs about 40% of the cost of an electric vehicle (EV). With a battery life of around 8 to 10 years, EV batteries will intensively face the retirement stage and have an impact on the environment in the form of unused battery waste. The target number of EVs in Indonesia in 2030 will reach 2 million units; hence, it is estimated that there will be 0.718 million tons of batteries that need to be recycled by 2040. There is a need for a study on the reverse logistics of the electric vehicle and electric vehicle battery industries. The causal loop diagram was utilized to examine the potential dynamics existing in the reverse logistics system of EV. The results could provide support the capacity planning of EVB remanufacturing as required by the potential regulation in the future.
