It is reported that if people buy new electric vehicles (EVS), they can get twice as much subsidy, up to 800000 yen; If you buy a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV), you can get a subsidy of 2.5 times more and up to 500000 yen.
In addition, for the "light electric vehicles" planned to be produced by various automobile manufacturers, new buyers can also receive a subsidy of up to 500000 yen.
It is reported that the Japanese government has incorporated relevant subsidies into the supplementary budget for 2021. Japan's Ministry of economy, industry and Trade said that as long as the supplementary budget is successfully passed, relevant subsidy measures are expected to be implemented from the spring of 2022.
It is reported that electric vehicles account for less than 1% of the total new car sales in Japan in 2020. The report points out that the Japanese government hopes to promote vehicle electrification by doubling subsidies.
