Abstract: Indonesia is one of the countries that has large nickel reserves in the world. One strategy to meet the high demand for nickel in the future, laterite nickel can be used as an alternative feedstock, this is also due to the depletion of nickel sulfide reserves. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the global energy system that is in the midst of a significant energy transition in reducing the use of dirty energy that produces greenhouse gas emissions and switching to using environmentally friendly energy. One example is the use of electric cars with battery energy sources derived from nickel, this of course opens up great opportunities for the future of the nickel mining industry in Indonesia considering the nickel potential in Indonesia is the number one largest in the world. In this study, researchers used the literature study method with a skunder data approach. One of the government's plans in overcoming nickel in Indonesia, namely by limiting the export of raw nickel ore, by down streaming and making electric vehicle fuel. With the existence of electric vehicles in Indonesia, it is expected to help solve the problem of air pollution and the availability of petroleum.

Keywords: Nickel, Battery Raw Material, Electric Vehicle.
