Dear our valuable reader!

It is a great pleasure to provide you with the third issue of Journal of Batteries for Renewable Energy and Electric Vehicles (JBREV), namely Vol. 02 No. 01 (2024). The JBREV is established in 2022 by the National Battery Research Institute (NBRI) in collaboration with the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), Material Research Society Indonesia (MRS-INA), and International Union of Material Research Societies (IUMRS). The JBREV is devoted to publish new and original research, article review related to battery materials, science & engineering that applicable to renewable energy and electric vehicles. The JBREV is for researchers and technology enthusiasts in all aspects of the science, technology, and applications of battery energy storage for renewable energy and electric vehicles.

The JBREV Vol. 02 No. 01 (2024) contains five articles discussing green politics and the policy cycle in Indonesia in the context of electrification initiative for EV and public transport, renewable energy solutions for net zero building, metamaterial analysis for energy storage application, market study and user behavior analysis for 2W-EV charging adoption in Indonesia, to the role of National Battery Research Institute to support Indonesia’s battery revolution through skills development initiative. There are 12 authors and co-authors in total, of those 5 articles, who come from various institutions (National Research and Innovation Agency, National Battery Research Institute, Universitas Padjajaran, Institute Technology of Bandung, Institut Teknologi Sumatera, and Queen Mary University of London).

Hopefully, this third edition of JBREV will give a prominent insight on battery technology development, its application, renewable energy, policy and EV adoption that provide beneficial knowledge for all related stakeholders. Happy reading!
