Cost and benefit battery swapping business model for indonesian electric two-wheeler

Abstract

Government of Indonesia (GoI) plan to achieve Net Zero Carbon by 2060. One of implementation through Electric Vehicle in the transportation sector where it will drive the reduction of emission and accelerate the demand of global battery. Indonesia has strong position in terms of integrated battery industry. In order to support Electric Vehicle ecosystem, one of value chain related to charging station infrastructures. Nowadays, the charging method for electric vehicles commonly used are battery swapping, conductive and inductive charging. In this paper, we will consider battery charging of electric vehicles, especially electric two-wheeler. In this case, the problem of excessive battery charge time is the main consideration of the users. The development of Battery Swapping Station (BSS) may be an alternative to solving these problems. In the meantime, Battery Swapping Station (BSS) needs a high-level view from stakeholders to understand the cost-benefit ratio of this alternative technology. The objectives of this research are to identify, analyze, and evaluate the current Battery Swapping Station (BSS) technology in market. In this research, it is necessary to have results to establish the policy for manufacture considers large capacity batteries and the standards such as types and specification of batteries as well as swapping stations.
