Japanese technology firm Sharp Corp is setting a significant milestone with its planned full-fledged entry into the Electric Vehicle (EV) market by 2027. The announcement signals Sharp's ambition to compete in the rapidly expanding green vehicle sector. The specifics about the models and design, or whether the company will partner with existing automotive giants, are yet to be unveiled.

Japan has seen a considerable push from both the government and corporate sector towards EVs, reflecting a growing societal and ecological consciousness. Sharp entering the EV market is seen as a strategic move within this larger context and is expected to add movements to the industry, stirring anticipation among the public and investors.

The U.S. and EU have seen traditional automakers, like GM and Volkswagen, setting EV strategies and new entrants like Tesla making waves. Sharp's EV plans could be seen similar to Apple's rumored 'Project Titan', with tech companies aiming to disrupt the dominant automaker landscape.
