Energy has an important role in achieving social, economic and environmental goals, with energy being a driving force for the economy and a form of defense against the state. Because energy supports the supply of fuel, electricity and infrastructure so as to support a stable defense. The increasing needs of the community in the transportation sector and the decreasing availability of fossil energy. The Indonesian government is trying to find alternative energy as a substitute for fuel oil, namely by using electric vehicles. With the development of electric vehicles in Indonesia, it is expected to be a solution and can support the achievement of clean and environmentally friendly energy. Electric vehicles can reduce pollution and exhaust emissions due to the use of fuel oil in two or four-wheeled vehicles. In addition, using electric-fueled vehicles will certainly reduce the energy crisis and import fuel oil. In support of clean and environmentally friendly energy, Indonesia has supported the Paris Agreement policy to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector. The author tries to discuss the use of electric vehicles through current policies and applications and is associated with reducing carbon emissions through the use of electric cars. At the end the researcher will provide strategic recommendations related to the use and development of environmentally friendly electric vehicles to be developed in Indonesia in order to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector.

Energy needs are always increasing in various sectors of life. Indonesia, which is below the equator, has extraordinary advantages, one of which is its high potential for solar energy. With high sun exposure throughout the year, Indonesia has the potential to use it to generate electrical energy. One of the biggest energy needs is transportation needs. To be in line with the energy mix agenda with energy sustainability, it is necessary to implement the use of clean energy in the transportation sector. Indonesia needs to increase the use of environmentally-friendly vehicles as an action to implement clean energy. The development of electric vehicles is considered appropriate as a solution and the government's efforts to seriously apply it can be seen from the stipulation of Presidential Decree 55/2019 concerning the Acceleration of the Battery Electric Vehicle Program for Road Transportation. The program must be supported by the provision of energy, namely the construction of supporting infrastructure in the form of electric charging stations. Indonesia's geographical condition with the government's and the world's mission in realizing clean energy can be done by using PV as energy to support the availability of electricity at electric charging stations with smart grid integration for land electric vehicles. This study was conducted with a qualitative method using data collection. This has a positive long-term value so that Indonesia's energy development and development goals are in line with the concept of sustainability so that in the future the use of energy in society is the use of environmentally friendly energy.
