Abstract

The rapid expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) market has driven a global shift towards sustainable transportation solutions, with two-wheel electric vehicles (2W-EVs) playing a pivotal role in emerging economies like Indonesia. This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption of 2W-EVs in Indonesia, focusing on user behavior, charging preferences, and market dynamics. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of consumer attitudes and preferences. The findings reveal that home charging is the preferred method for the majority of users, primarily due to its convenience and cost-effectiveness. However, significant barriers such as range anxiety, insufficient public charging infrastructure, and high upfront costs are impeding widespread adoption. The study also explores the complex interplay of market dynamics, including the influence of government policies, infrastructure development, and economic conditions on the 2W-EV market in Indonesia. Based on the analysis, this paper offers recommendations to accelerate 2W-EV adoption, including the expansion of charging infrastructure, cost reduction strategies through subsidies and incentives, and increased consumer education. The research concludes that while 2W-EVs have the potential to significantly contribute to Indonesia's sustainable transportation goals, achieving widespread adoption will require coordinated efforts across multiple sectors.

Abstract

Indonesia is at the forefront of the global electric vehicle (EV) battery industry, driven by its rich nickel reserves and strategic initiatives like the National Battery Research Institute (NBRI). This paper explores NBRI’s pivotal role in enhancing skills development within the EV battery sector, a critical factor for sustaining Indonesia's competitive advantage. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative data analysis with qualitative insights from industry stakeholders. Findings reveal that targeted skills development programs have significantly contributed to workforce readiness, aligning with global trends in green jobs and sustainable energy. However, the industry faces challenges, including the need for continuous upskilling, technological adoption, and collaboration between academia and industry. Opportunities lie in leveraging Indonesia's resource wealth, government policies, and international partnerships to build a robust talent pipeline. The impact of these initiatives is evident in the growth of a skilled labor force capable of driving innovation and sustainability in battery technology. The paper concludes that NBRI’s efforts are crucial in positioning Indonesia as a leader in the global EV battery market, emphasizing the importance of ongoing investment in education and training to meet the evolving demands of this dynamic industry.
