Abstract: The use of electric-powered vehicles is considered as one of the steps that can be taken to reduce the use of fossil-fueled vehicles, but efforts to use electric-powered vehicle technology have encountered many obstacles, especially in developing countries. Indonesia as a developing country also experiences various obstacles from the cost of ownership of electric vehicles which are still considered high, inadequate facilities, and electric vehicle technology that does not meet user expectations. The purpose of this research is to study the determinants that must be met by electric vehicles to be used as an alternative to fossil fuel vehicles. This study uses the TAM, UTAUT-2 and Perceived Risk to develop a model that can describe the relationship between the criteria variables for selecting electric vehicles as an alternative to fossil fuel vehicles, the data will be collected using a questionnaire and will be analyzed using the Structural Equation Model. The results obtained from the study are expected to provide a better description of the factors that determine users choosing electricity as an alternative transportation.
