Critical Success Factors of Electric Mobility Transition in Indonesia: A DEMATEL-Based ANP Approach

The high index of poor air quality and the increasing demand for oil fuel pose severe problems for Indonesia. The largest sector contributing to both of these issues is the transportation sector. Electric mobility offers a notable opportunity for decreasing carbon emissions within the transportation domain. Despite the Indonesian government’s notable backing of this initiative, the implementation has been slow. Therefore, this study aims to identify the critical factors necessary for a successful transition to electric mobility. This study identifies the factors influencing the transition to e-mobility in the initial stage. Subsequently, these factors are validated and assessed by a panel of nine experts. In the validation phase, data processing involves the use of the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Modified Kappa methods. To assess relationships and prioritize essential success factors, the Decision-making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory-based Analytic Network Process (DEMATEL-based ANP) is applied. This study identifies six dimensions and 24 critical success factors. The political dimension emerges as the most significant, with the top five priorities being government funding, charging infrastructure, value proposition, fuel price, and charging time. The findings can be used to provide recommendations to the government or relevant stakeholders in supporting the shift to electric mobility in Indonesia.
