Abstract:

The study examines Indonesia's charging infrastructure needs by examining private and public charging stations. Private chargers are home chargers in single and multi-family dwellings and depot chargers for EV fleets in centralized locations. Investment costs for private chargers are borne by individuals or companies, while public chargers are mostly accessible to the general public but may have access restrictions. Public destinations include shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, gas stations, office buildings, airports, and en-route locations. The study estimates the number and type of chargers needed for electric passenger cars in Indonesia by 2030, using country-specific data. It focuses on four questions: the number of chargers needed, the locations for public chargers, the best charger types and capacities, and the investment needed to support 2 million cars. The findings could improve charging infrastructure planning and support the government's 2030 electrification target. The study also complements roadmaps from MEMR and PLN, focusing on charger types, capacities, and locations. Additionally, it helps Indonesian planners and policymakers minimize costs by focusing on ultra-fast chargers.
