Second, to examine the supporting and inhibiting factors for the development of electric vehicles in Indonesia. This writing uses the literature study method. The results of the analysis show that the Government of Indonesia has issued Presidential Regulation Number 55 of 2019 concerning the Acceleration of the Battery-based Electric Motor Vehicle Program for road transportation, this shows a commitment to realizing environmentally friendly transportation.
