Analyzing Public Sentiment on Electric Vehicles in Indonesia: Key Insights and Trends

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This study examines public sentiment toward electric vehicles (EVs) in Indonesia through an analysis of social media data from platform X. The results reveal that the overall sentiment is predominantly negative, with 53% of the 185 tweets expressing negative opinions, while 47% conveyed positive sentiments. This indicates that, while there is significant enthusiasm for EVs among a portion of the population, many remain skeptical about the technology, particularly regarding policies and vehicle performance. Additionally, text mining and sentiment analysis identified key topics driving public concern, with terms such as "tax,""motor,""Indonesia,""battery,"and "subsidy"frequently mentioned. These terms reflect the primary areas of discussion contributing to the public's uncertainty about EV adoption. In terms of sentiment classification methods, Support Vector Machine (SVM) was the most accurate, achieving an accuracy of 74.68%, outperforming Naive Bayes, Random Forest (62.93%), and Gradient Booster (59.49%). These findings that further research is necessary to explore the factors influencing public perception and to develop strategies for improving EV adoption in Indonesia.
