Japanese automakers like Nissan, Mitsubishi and Toyota have long been pioneers of
electric car
technology, and their popularity is gradually growing in Japan. To make EVs more accessible to Japanese consumers, both Nissan and Mitsubishi are currently working on releasing affordable, micro-electric cars to Japanese markets.
In Japanese, “electric car” is 電気自動車 (denki jidōsha).
