Abstract

The transportation sector is now starting to shift from fossil fuels to electricity which is more environmentally friendly, as this sector is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Electric vehicles are a type of vehicle that is environmentally friendly because it does not produce air pollution. In Presidential Regulation No. 55 of 2019 concerning the Acceleration of the Battery-Based Electric Motor Vehicle (KBL) Program for Road Transportation which came into effect after being promulgated on 12 August 2019 is expected to be a momentum for accelerating cooperation to build an era of environmentally friendly electric cars with electricity as a substitute for energy. The use of electric vehicles is growing rapidly, and China is the largest market, followed by Europe and the United States. The development of electric vehicles is highly dependent on the national policies of a country. Indonesia’s goal is to become one of the centers of the global electric vehicle industry, for that Indonesia needs to consider the challenges of cost, standards, power generation, incentive support, communication security, and conditions of integration framework. If Indonesia wants to attract investors into the country, Indonesia must also pay attention to infrastructure readiness, ease of doing business, government policies, and research and development. This research is a normative-empirical legal research. Research materials used include secondary data and primary data. The method of data collection is done through library research. The approach used is a philosophical approach, a conceptual approach, a legal approach, as a concept of thought data collection tools using document studies and interview guidelines. The data obtained were analyzed using qualitative methods and presented descriptively. The results of this study indicate that the acceleration of the KBL program requires the support of all parties in order to reduce the inhibiting factors that are considered by consumers’ preferences in choosing KBL, namely price, maintenance, vehicle durability and infrastructure readiness. In terms of policy, Indonesia needs to review the readiness of planning for the procurement of the electric vehicle sector, assessing the needs of the country’s economy as well as investments that have been or will be entering Indonesia.
