Abstract

Electric Vehicles (EV) are considered revolutionary in the automotive industry since it solves problems traditional gasoline-fueled cars have, such as air pollution, human safety and economic growth. However the transition to EV is not all simple especially in Indonesia, a third world country that is home to over 270 million people. The problems include the destruction of the landscape of increased mining activities for lithium, the inconvenience in geographical location to build charging spots that is limited to a small number of vehicles per item, and the environmental burden of recycling EV.

This paper uses literature review in order to find the solutions by searching for scientific papers from 2018 onward using FOSS, analyzing the result using critical thinking, writing the result and finally reflecting on the writing. 

As a result, a recovery procedure using sawdust is proposed as a water-saving alternative in woodworking. Implementing "swapping stations" for electric vehicle batteries aims to reduce traffic and optimize land use. Government incentives like tax breaks and financial support for startups, such as KUR and Jamkrindo, are suggested to encourage lithium recycling research.

In conclusion, Indonesia is ready to implement Electric Vehicles to align with the country's commitment in the G20 summit to be completely free from population by 2045. However, there just must be some adjustments that need to be considered to ensure the effectiveness of implementation of Electric Vehicles and its sustainability in the automotive market in Indonesia.
