Abstract

As one of the countries in Southeast Asia, Indonesia is making an energy transition in the transportation sector by using battery-based electric vehicles (BEV). The Indonesian government supports accelerating electric car use by issuing Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 55 of 2019 concerning the Battery-Based Electric Motorized Vehicle Acceleration Program. The level of consumers buying electric cars is still low due to a lack of awareness about several aspects, including the economy, benefits, accessibility, and environmental concern. On the other hand, the relatively expensive purchase price of electric cars is a consideration or even an obstacle for people to switch to using electric cars. This study aims to understand which factors hinder the adoption of electric cars in DKI Jakarta. Using questionnaire method with probability sampling and cluster sampling research techniques based on cities in DKI Jakarta Province. Electric vehicle prices, infrastructure, and policies are the most important factors hindering electric car adoption in DKI Jakarta.
