Japan car dealers accelerate EV migration to conform to Government directive

The Japanese government has called for all new cars sold to be electric-powered by 2035. At the Tokyo event, which opened to the public on Saturday, battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs) have become the star as major Japanese carmakers have been ramping up their shift to EVs to try to catch up with global competitors. An editorial in the Japanese newspaper Nikkei said that Japan started rather late in EV development, and it is also not in a leading position in software such as artificial intelligence. Companies must make those next-generation technologies practicable and catch up with the world in the EV segment. At the show, Toyota Motor showcased a number of concept models for next-generation EVs, including the FT-Se electric sports car, the Land Cruiser Se, and the sedan type LF-ZC under its Lexus brand. Toyota’s next generation of EVs will use lithium-ion batteries with higher energy density and a driving range of up to 1,000 kilometers, according to the staff. Toyota previously announced its plans to introduce 10 new electric models by 2026 and increase annual EV sales to 1.5 million units worldwide. To accelerate the development of EVs, Toyota is also developing several types of vehicle batteries. https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/business/2023/10/japanese-automakers-ramp-up-shift-to-evs/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=japanese-automakers-ramp-up-shift-to-evs
