Study on Electrical Vehicle Policy in South Korea as a Lesson Learning for Indonesia
Abstract Electric vehicle (EV) becomes an important option to overcome limited resources of fossil energy resources and to reduce side effects of Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEV) on the environment and health. However, the implementation policy of EV needs to apply carefully to make this policy sustainable and to minimize its side effects. Therefore, the Government of a country plays a significant role in leading and support the implementation of EV with policy and regulation. This paper reviews policies of Electric Vehicles (EV) in South Korea and Indonesia. The main objective of this review is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the policies implemented in those countries. Three main aspects are elaborated, i.e., the main policy, the technology, and the private sector implementations. This paper also develops recommended policies and actions that could be done in Indonesia by reflecting on the EV policy in South Korea.
