Identification of the Ecosystem Readiness of Batery Based Electrical Vehicles in Indonesia -Preliminary Assessment

Abstract

Identification has been made related to the readiness of the ecosystem development of the batterybased electric vehicle industry in Indonesia. The identification results show that the readiness of providing electricity is still quite safe, there is still a power reserve of more than 30% during peak load. To prepare the charging station still needs to be developed, the number of public electric charging station (SPLU), is still around 7000 units spread throughout Indonesia with a power of 5.5 kVA to 22 kVA, while the number of public electric vehicle charging station (SPKLU) is still around 13 units with a power of 22 kW to 150 kW, spread over 4 cities namely Jakarta, Tangerang, Bandung and Bali. Administrative, technical provisions & roadworthy test readiness, the regulation is now in the finalization stage, one of which is related to sound intensity and classification of electric motors. For two-wheeled electric vehicles and electric buses, currently there is a domestic industry that is developing, but for four-wheeled electric vehicles, there is still not formed, althaugh the drivetrain industry is ready. As for the battery and the handling of the industrial battery waste, it has not yet been formed, it is still in the development of research scale.

Challenges in Connecting The Elements of Sectoral System of Innovation for Developing Electric Vehicle Industry in Indonesia

“…While there is flexibility in importing EV as IKD, CKD, or CBU form, the government also imposes DCL targets for EV industry. However, the DCL is currently a subject of debate as Indonesia is conducting several ongoing preparations for the transition to EVs (Krisnowo et al, 2020). Fourth, the readiness of domestic component industries is crucial to support domestic EV production and diminishing competitiveness due to inefficiencies of EV supply chain.…”
