Due to issues in global warming in the world, the application of replacing fossil fuels to electricity is important to reduce air pollution, especially in the metropolitan area. In 2016, total emissions in Indonesia increased from 11 th to 10 th in the world and were the highest in ASEAN, so this became the focus in order to reduce emissions. What issues make efforts to change from conventional taxis to electric taxis an important measurement to achieve targets in energy-saving and reduce emissions because electric taxi has the potential to resource savings and to improve urban air quality. This study was conducted to diagnose the potential application of electric taxis by conducting a feasibility study, social impact, and environmental analysis in the implementation of the electric taxis to measure sustainability aspects. In the calculation process, the maintenance cost is estimated to be fixed. The results of this study from the cost-benefit analysis are expected to be able to contribute to the government and the private sectors for decision making towards increasing sustainability in Indonesia.
