Abstract
In line with the Green Growth Strategy, Japan has actively pushed for the increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs, PHVs, FCVs) aiming for their exclusive presence in new passenger car sales by 2035. However, Japan's progress in electric vehicle uptake lags behind other developed nations. Despite robust marketing efforts by both local and global automakers, Japanese consumers remain hesitant to embrace electric vehicles. This study conducts a pilot survey to gauge the demand for electric vehicles in Japan. Results indicate that respondents prioritize the country of manufacturer as the most crucial factor in their next passenger car purchase, followed by the car's drive type and cruising range. Price is considered the least influential factor. Notably, respondents place significant importance on domestic manufacturer and plug-in hybrid drive type. These findings offer valuable insights for academic research and policymaking to encourage broader electric vehicle adoption in Japan.
