Weird that Japan is nowhere to be found. At least here in Tokyo tons of cars and buses are electric. I guess they make them only for themselves so they don’t go in or out?

Japanese native cars tend to not sell well in other markets. They have to produce models specifically with foreign markets in mind; I’m guessing they focused on the domestic market first.

I would have expected them to be quite high in exporting, namely Toyota.

Toyota barely makes electric cars, generally too expensive.
