""Japan's overall electric vehicle market, however, shrank 33% to 59,736 units in 2024, comprising under 2% of total auto sales, the lowest among major economies.""
""There are few homegrown EV options, so in some cases people who want to buy EVs reluctantly choose imports.""
In Japan, Tesla is experiencing significant growth, with Q1 2025 sales up 56%, largely driven by the popular Model Y and promotions like free Supercharging. However, the country's total electric vehicle sales have declined by 33%, representing less than 2% of overall auto sales, marking Japan's status as the lowest among major economies in EV adoption. Imports of EVs, particularly from Tesla and BYD, dominate the market, holding 75% of sales due to inadequate offerings from local automakers like Nissan and Toyota, whose EVs face declining sales.
