Indonesia has committed to accelerating battery electric vehicle (BEV) adoption for road transport. However, uptake remains limited – Bali, for instance, has achieved less than 1% of its modest target – due largely to inadequate charging infrastructure and high upfront costs.
This technical study supports the Government of Indonesia, particularly the Bali Provincial Government, in advancing sustainable transport. It identifies high-potential segments for electrification to attract investment and enhance stakeholder capacity across public and private sectors.
Focusing on Jakarta and Bali, the study explores BEV adoption challenges, assesses environmental and economic impacts, and presents actionable policy and business model recommendations to boost BEV development and implementation.
