The Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) has compiled data showing a surge in the adoption of electric vehicles in Indonesia over the past few years. The team notes that in 2022 alone, the number of electric two-wheelers (E2W) and electric four-wheelers (E4W) increased by 5 and 4 times, respectively, compared to 2021.

Despite this rapid growth in 2022, the research team states that the adoption rate of electric vehicles is still far from achieving the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) or the country's commitment under the Paris Agreement to reduce transport emissions.

Several obstacles to electric vehicle adoption in Indonesia were identified in a survey conducted by IESR.

Firstly, the difficulty in finding public electric vehicle charging stations (SPKLU), cited by 71.2% of respondents. Secondly, the high price of electric vehicles or their maintenance, a concern for 62% of respondents.

"Most E2Ws cost more than Rp25 million, while the majority of motorcycles sold in Indonesia are priced below Rp20 million. This disparity is even more pronounced for E4Ws, most of which cost over Rp600 million, while the majority of Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs) are sold for less than Rp300 million," the research team wrote in their report.

Limited driving range was the third most significant obstacle, cited by 52% of respondents. Fourth, difficulties with battery replacement and other operational aspects were mentioned by 46.6% of respondents.

"Furthermore, long charging times, low performance, and limited driving range of electric vehicles are also considered obstacles," the research team stated. The proportions are shown in the graph above.

The team also observed that consumer perception and a lack of understanding about electric vehicles also hinder their adoption.

This survey is included in the IESR report titled *Indonesia Electric Vehicle Outlook (IEVO) 2023*. IESR has not yet provided further details about the survey.
