EVs aren't gonna be mainstream in Japan until they figure out how to generate electricity without importing fossil fuels. EVs as 4x more efficient than ICE cars - assuming your electricity generation doesn't have a massive loss. If you're burning fossil fuels, you're losing 60% at generation and another 10% in transmission. It's not gonna make sense to spend more on a car and lug around a giant battery and build a new infrastructure for a tiny improvement. If you're the US and can generate a crap ton of solar because half your country is a desert - then it can work. Or if you have access to other renewable sources or can build nuclear at scale.
