Peran Kendaraan Bermotor Listrik Berbasis Baterai dalam Mengurangi Permintaan BBM di Indonesia

Battery electric vehicles have several advantages compared to conventional vehicles, i.e. more energy efficient, better performance, more environmentally friendly, and reduce dependence on the use of fossil energy. The dominance of conventional vehicles that use oil fuel needs to be reduced and replaced with battery electric vehicles. This study aims to examine the role of battery-based electric motorized vehicles in reducing fuel demand. Reducing oil fuel use through the development of battery electric vehicles is modeled using LEAP (Low Emissions Analysis Platform) software. The model uses the base year of 2018 and the projection period until 2050. Analysis is carried out in the model using two scenarios, namely the BASE scenario and the KBL scenario. The model results show that the use of battery electric vehicles in 2050 can save oil fuel by 358 million BOE and only increase electricity usage by 119 million BOE. Reducing the use of oil fuel will reduce imports which can have a positive impact on the national trade balance.
