Strengthening Electric Vehicle Regulation for Climate Control and Renewable Energy Use in Indonesia
摘要
This article examines the urgency of climate change controls and renewable energy use through EV regulation in Indonesia. Indonesia has enormous natural nickel resource potential, which can be used as raw material for electric vehicles. This can undoubtedly support Indonesia’s creation of a clean climate as a commitment to the Paris Agreement and the Kyoto Protocol. The policy for managing and regulating EVs is intended because the transportation sector contributes to Indonesia’s most significant carbon emissions, with a figure of 638 million tCO2e in 2019, which will impact climate change. Indonesia is still focused on developing facilities, but the acceleration of the construction of EV battery factories is relatively rapid. This can undoubtedly be a turning point for Indonesia in realizing Green Development through climate regulation based on EV policies. Thus, things that can support achieving this goal are providing incentives such as tax breaks or subsidies for the purchase of EVs to encourage their use, developing charging infrastructure in all regions to support the widespread use of electric vehicles, and renewable energy industries to ensure that EVs are charged using clean energy sources.
