- Abstract
Electrification of the transport sector is expanding in both developing and developed countries in response to air pollution and climate change. Indonesia, the world's 10th biggest CO 2 emitter having the world's third largest two-wheeler market, aims to deploy 2.1 million electric two-wheelers by 2025 and is developing electric vehicle policies. This study designs a consumers' choice model for buying a scooter in Jakarta, Indonesia, and simulates the effects of two supportive policies to expand electric two-wheelers (providing subsidies and building charging infrastructure) using a discrete choice experiment. We calculate the budget required for these subsidies. The results show that people in Jakarta highly prefer electric scooters and consider their environmental impacts. A 20% subsidy increases the estimated annual market share of new electric scooter sales to 10%. In addition to a 20% subsidy, building charging infrastructure for electric scooters to the same level as conventional gas stations leads to estimated new sales of electric scooters reaching 21%. This study suggests the need to develop comprehensive policy packages to successfully deploy electric two-wheelers in Jakarta and provides reference data to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of related policies.
