Background
Pertamina is a state-owned company that has an important role in advancing government programs in the context of the transition to renewable energy which is targeted to reach 23% by 2025. In the aspect of transportation and accommodation, Pertamina and PLN have a project in the development of SPKLU (Stasiun Pengisian Kendaraan Listrik Umum) which is where the SPKLU program has a long-term prospect if it’s associated with a long-project plan between Tesla, Inc and the Indonesian Government in 2021 (Kurniawan et al., 2020) In addition to, the emergence of Tesla in Indonesia will increasingly attract the public’s interest to transition from using solar or diesel vehicles to the electric vehicle. Of course, this will be a great opportunity for Pertamina to build new business land in the resource sector and Electric Vehicle Battery (EVB).
