9 Modern Electric Cars Showing that Japan is Finally Serious about EVs
Usually, when we look into the early history of modern electric cars, we see that Tesla and its product lineup that consists of the Roadster, Model S and Model X, is usually regarded as the company that made electric vehicles (EVs) happen and showed the world the massive potential of this technology.
While Tesla is usually portrayed as the maker of cool, fast and long range electric vehicles, there was one more manufacturer that practiced a different approach to battery-powered autos. It was Nissan, with this small EV model, named Nissan Leaf. As years before, when compared to Tesla, the Leaf was lacking in range, smart features and looks, but somehow it managed to shine in terms of sales. Nissan managed to keep the price low and sell a hundred thousand copies of this model and become the ultimate people’s car for the city.
With that said, many people were hopeful that other Japanese manufacturers would follow the footsteps of Nissan and start investing heavily in the development of all-electric cars, but somehow it didn’t happen. So today, it’s hard to understand how Japanese automakers, who were the first to popularize hybrid electric, hydrogen fuel cell and mass market all-electric cars, are not leading the industry today. You can see how their vehicles compare to the EVs currently produced in the US:
Despite the fact that through the years Nissan Leaf seems to be the only successful car by Japanese manufacturers, the industry seems to be waking up and showing more seriousness. if you follow the latest car news, some of which we posted here: you will see that the land of the rising sun has quite an impressive selection of battery-powered cars lined up for the upcoming years.
Here we would like to show the detailed overview of all modern Japanese electric cars by Mazda, Lexus, Honda, and Nissan, as well as intriguing concepts, that are likely to go into production soon. We have listed the prices, information about electric range autonomy and other available specifications to help you understand if Japan is finally serious about EVs.
honda wins for short-range rice cars
Mazda is chinese as i know 🙄
As much as I like the technology not of this cars really are what will make a breakthrough. What we need is a car that can achieve 600-mile range go up to a hundred miles per hour an offer normal amenities. All the super high-end and high-tech bologna can just go away and people will buy it. Keep the price normal. May I remind you of the Model T Ford. People bought it
Sony is my favorite. Thanks for sharing new models.
Let’s go Sony,, if you build it we will buy it!!!
can't take the screaming.
Great video- keep it rolling…
The solar panel is very light you guys can do it
And then when you go home you can charge it again
I hope you guys make the roof and the front hood with solar panels so that while it's parked under the sun it will charge itself
Lexus
Congratulations.. M 🙏
AR TO EXPENSIVE I KEEP MY GASS; CAR
infinity qx as long as its getting 400+mpc
Where is suzuki ?
What about Subaru’s upcoming EV in 2022?
Nice car Sony, now in the US or anywhere for that matter WHERE are you going to take it when the car needs to be repaired, needs servicing, making payments on a car but WHERE and WHO? is going to work on it. Other car makers have their certified EV techs (though few of them…need more, anyone need a new career path?) but does Sony have the capacity to maintain these cars. I ask since only the manufacturers can work on these cars, the ones who are certified to work on EVs. It's not like you can send it to any mechanic in any city and state. So when buying an EV keep that in mind.
Hi, I am Graeme John Eddington. Following is my Youtube post of my Multi-speed transmission I have called: "Opposing Torque Dynamic Clutch" which is a type of Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) which I believe is ideal for your current applications.

Now for a Toyota Honda or other reasonable brand in Souh East Asia its only hybrid.
The first prototype to EV.
But if you buy a petrol car now it going to be obsolete when the EV arrives.
Or plug in hybrid that runs 25km per lt…..
Accelerate 0-100 km in 5 sec.
Go to the petrol station 3 to 5 times a year.
Stale petrol becomes an issue. But the sensor will help.
300 hp
Yet it only cost a few thousand more.
Wow Sony ev's
Mazda needs an eV Miata!
Arrgh Japanese prototype ! Freakin just start mass production !! With reasonable prices please !
Don't waste our time with concept vehicles!
If Toyota did not make its electric vehicle for sale in the US how then did it bow down?!? The C-HR was electric only and sold in Japan before the Lexus.
Japan is just lit🔥 in design.
How come they are serious if Sony isnt even going to make this?
Too early to say dibs on any until actuality sets solid details.
This is how Toyota loses its number one spot and the BIG3 drop off the radar like baby tadpoles swallowed by koi fish.
Nearly $40,000 for a car that has 125 miles of range. Seriously, I may as well buy the Nissan Ariyah. Mazda can do better, I want them to do better.
The Honda E is the cutest new car I've seen since the Audi TT debuted. Such a shame on the low range, but if I only did city commuting, or had another vehicle, it'd be on the top of my list.
Sony made a temporary "phony" EV 😂 Join our community The EV Alliance Community "Fully Charged Passion!"
Not good compare with Tesla.
Please Sony, show me an SUV too. Love your products. I'm a fan of Sony camera. 👍
DATACUBE – SONY does not Produce cars, the SONY Vision S was created my MAGNA and SONY Provided all the Technology.
Having owned a 2014 BMW i3 REX since 2015 I’ve come to understand range issues due to my limited electric range. At full charge my i3 will allow me 60 miles before kicking on the small generator built in to the car to Extend the range another 70 miles.
In my opinion all future EV’s should have a minimum base range of at least 200 miles. Things like air conditioning and heating burn up a ton of the batteries.
Joke prices . IFF you pay over 30k.+. All cars should be minimum 300 mile range
Other wise. They are a rip off
None of them can compare to Tesla. And when the Model C (Compact) hits the global market from Tesla, it’s Checkmate y’all! 🏆
I am an Iranian engineer
My name is Farhad Imani
I designed a car engine without the need for charging and without the need for fuel, and it's not like Tesla and others who have to charge it to travel 500 kilometers, for example, because
My engine does not need to be charged at all
And it practically emits gravity and leads to the movement of the car, and then during the movement it enters the second phase of production, which leads to the production of very high power and torque and speed (above 500 km).
And it takes thousands of miles without charging
The distance around the world that travels about 40,000 kilometers without the need for any fuel and recharge over and over again
I will make it and introduce it to the world except Iran
The steps of its construction in Iran
It costs a maximum of 10000 $ , although later it is more important and introduced to the world
