Assessing the Impact and Opportunities of Electric Vehicles in Advancing Indonesia's Green Economy Index (Available in English Only)
The policy paper "Assessing the Impact and Opportunities of Electric Vehicles in Advancing Indonesia's Green Economy Index" presents a comprehensive analysis of how electric vehicles (EVs) could reshape Indonesia’s economy, environment, and society. With abundant reserves of key minerals like nickel, Indonesia is uniquely positioned to become a major player in the global EV supply chain. The government has introduced various incentives, policies, and infrastructure plans to support this transition. However, challenges remain, including the need for sustainable mining practices, a reliable charging network, and the development of a skilled workforce to support the growing EV ecosystem.
In terms of economic impact, the shift to EVs presents opportunities for job creation, industrial diversification, and foreign investment, but also raises concerns about employment shifts due to automation and different skill demands. Environmentally, EV adoption promises reduced emissions, particularly in urban areas, but its benefits hinge on greening the electricity grid. Socially, EVs can enhance mobility access and even promote gender inclusivity in new sectors. Overall, the report emphasizes a balanced approach that aligns policy, industry, and social goals to realize a sustainable and inclusive EV future in Indonesia.
