The Indonesian government issued Presidential Regulation Number 79 of 2023, amending Presidential Regulation Number 55 of 2019, to accelerate the adoption of battery-based electric vehicles (BEVs) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through incentives. These incentives, both fiscal and non-fiscal, aim to encourage the public to switch to electric vehicles. However, the environmental impact of electric vehicles needs consideration in the context of sustainable transport. This study analyzes the challenges of the incentive policy in promoting BEVs and its potential connection to greenwashing practices, aiming to develop effective solutions for environmental issues related to these incentives. Using a normative juridical approach, the research relies on secondary data, including primary legal materials and secondary sources like textbooks, journals, expert opinions, and jurisprudence. The findings highlight the need for supervision in providing incentives and suggest prioritizing the electrification of public vehicles to achieve sustainable green transportation. Additionally, the study emphasizes strengthening non-motorized and electricity-based public transportation modes and transitioning to renewable energy sources to mitigate environmental impacts.

Indonesia is one of the countries in Southeast Asia rich in nickel reserves, so this has become an attraction for foreign investors to compete to invest amid a drastic increase in market demand for lithium batteries for electric vehicles. Tesla, Inc. became one of the investors who showed interest in the potential for establishing a lithium-ion battery factory for electric vehicles. Indonesia is aware of Tesla's enthusiasm in trying to conduct intense negotiations and lobbying because these MNCs have several advantages in terms of advanced features and acceleration, as well as adhering to green principles. The author's aim in raising this issue is to reflect on Indonesia's long process of building government-to-business negotiations and lobbying with Tesla, where Indonesia sees this opportunity as a step to pursue national interests. The method used in this research is based on a literature study through secondary data collection. The findings from this research are that both Indonesia and Tesla use a rational approach and integrative strategy in negotiating investment cooperation. However, Indonesia's optimistic attitude is reflected in experiencing various challenges, including competition from competitors from other countries and unsustainable nickel mining problems.
