Integration of Electric Vehicle Transport with TOD in Medan Railway Station Area

Abstract: With air pollution having reached alarming limits, as well as fossil fuels that have begun to become limited in quantity, this has paved the way for electric vehicles to be increasingly used by people in other countries. However, until now, most of the urban cities in Indonesia have not attempted to start the development of necessary infrastructure in supporting electric vehicles due to various obstacles. To solve that, this study aims to find out what factors must be considered in building a transit-oriented development with a site in Medan, especially focusing on the necessary infrastructure to support charging of electric vehicles. The method used for this research is qualitative in nature, in which the author will collect various data to be analyzed and synthesized using selected indicators to produce a conclusion that will answer the research questions and obtain results necessary for research objectives. Based on the results, the researcher concludes that the most important factors that must be considered in building a transit oriented development with supporting infrastructure for electric vehicles are: (a) the distance of the building to the nearest public transportation point must be within walking distance, (b) there must be entertainment facilities around the site, (c) the project must be close to an office area or university area in order to provide convenience for employees or students who use electric vehicles, (d) the project must be in an area with a high level of air pollution in order to become a solution that can reduce these problems, and (e) Building must have a supporting concept so that it becomes a project that’s more acceptable towards the general public. Keywords: Air pollution, electric vehicles (EV), Medan, transit-oriented.
