How many electric cars are there in Japan?
I just got back from visiting my cousin in Tokyo, and not only did I live my best ramen life, but I discovered that the car scene over there is insane! I saw so many cool electric cars, and it really got me curious about the Japanese car culture. Do you know how many electric cars they have in Japan?

That sounds like an incredible trip! I agree, there’s nothing like fresh ramen and gyoza dumplings from a cozy Izakaya in Shibuya. And you’re right,
Japanese car culture
is vibrant, unique, and cutting edge. Here’s what we know about electric cars in Japan:- Since the ‘60s, Japan has been one of the top countries when it comes to car manufacturing. And they’ve **made it a priority to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. **
- Though Japan isn’t quite leading the charge with battery-only cars like Germany or China, it’s following close behind with its production of hybrids.
- In 2016, around 25,000 eco-friendly cars were sold. And with a steady increase, as of late 2020, Japan had about 156,000 all-electric cars and a little over 136,000 plug-in hybrids.
- It’s estimated that by 2023, Japan will have over 200,000 electric vehicles roaming the streets. By 2030, Japan wants to phase out diesel and petrol vehicles.
Other popular Japanese models include the Honda Fit EV, Mitsubishi iMiEV, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Toyota RAV4 EV, Toyota Prius PHEV, Mitsubishi Minicab MiEV, and the Volkswagen e-Up!
Now that you’re up to speed with the future of electric cars for Japan, make sure you’re up to speed with getting the best car insurance on the market. Most of us are paying way too much for our current policy, but it’s too much of a hassle to change it.
