Through Presidential Regulation No. 55 of 2019, Indonesia prioritizes accelerating Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) for road transport, yet the adoption rate remains low, exemplified by Bali achieving less than 1% of its moderate regional target. Challenges such as a lack of charging infrastructure and high upfront costs remain the main barriers to implementation.

This technical study aims to support the Government of Indonesia, particularly the Bali Provincial Government, in transitioning to sustainable transport by looking at several options that have the most potential to transition to electric thereby increasing investment opportunities and strengthening capacity involving public and private stakeholders. Focusing on Jakarta and Bali, the study also examines BEV adoption challenges and practices, while analyzing environmental and economic impacts and offering policy and business model recommendations for BEV development and implementation.
