- Abstract
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 80% of urban communities live with air pollution and more than 7 million people die yearly because of this. It is known that vehicles contribute approximately one- quarter of CO2 emissions globally. One way to implement CO2 reduction is use of electric vehicle (EV). Electric vehicles are starting to grow in Indonesia with the issuance of Presidential Regulation 55/2019 concerning battery-based electric vehicles. The public's response regarding the use of electric vehicles is growing good and could be seen by the growth of the electric car market in Indonesia. Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi (Jabodetabek) and South Tangerang are the regions in Indonesia that have an outstanding response to using electric cars. The special Region of Yogyakarta and it’s surroundings are areas that also have the potential to use electric vehicles like Jabodetabek and South Tangerang, it could be seen from 3 charging stations available in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Nevertheless, the growth of electric cars in Yogyakarta and it’s surroundings is not as fast as in Jabodetabek and South Tangerang. Realizing the importance of implementing the use of electric vehicles in Indonesia which is still in its early stages, especially in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and its surroundings. This research using the Unified Theory of Acceptance of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) to explore the factors that affect the intention to adopt electric vehicles in Special Region Yogyakarta and it’s surroundings (Magelang and Klaten) in. Collected data from 95 respondents was analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS SEM). In general, the findings show that habit and hedonic motivation had a significant effect on behavioral intention to adopt electric vehicles (EV) while on respondents whose are in age ranging from 30 to 40 years old social influence also had significant effect on intention to adopt EV. This research could take the contribution to the public sector that could increase people’s intention to adopt EV and grow their sales on EV and also support the government program that could reducing the emissions released to the air.
