Abstract

Indonesia has big ambitions to become a major player in the EV ecosystem, including EV batteries, but currently lacks a comprehensive system for managing its end-of-life phase. This research explores how end-of-life management for EV batteries can be effectively implemented in Indonesia by examining the country's regulatory, economic, and social readiness. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, in-depth interviews were conducted and analysed through content analysis based on pre-coded data. The readiness level is assessed by benchmarking Indonesia's EV battery ecosystem development against global best practices. The findings of this research indicate that several regulations need to be adjusted to place greater emphasis on end-of-life management for EV batteries. The secondary market for used EV batteries is also key to maximising their economic value. Additionally, raising public awareness about the importance of energy transition is essential to boosting demand for EV batteries.
