Greenhouse gas emissions have increased significantly and have become a global issue as they affect human health. The transportation sector accounts for the largest component of CO2 emissions. Electric vehicles can replace conventional vehicles and become an alternative solution. The main objective of this study is to find the factors that influence the intention to adopt electric vehicles by combining TPB and TAM and analyzing their impact on the three pillars of sustainability in urban areas. This study has a quantitative design, using a six-point Likert scale structured questionnaire approach with a convenience sampling technique. As a sample of this study, 149 respondents in Jakarta use motorized vehicles for daily transportation. Model testing of the collected data uses the SEM-PLS technique through SmartPLS software. The findings of this study indicate that TPB and TAM factors can explain 78.3% of the variables that support electric vehicle adoption intentions. Significant influence is found on most of the proposed hypotheses, including the intention to adopt electric vehicles on the pillars of sustainable contribution, which include environmental quality, social welfare, and economic growth. The research findings can provide theoretical and practical implications for stakeholders.
