The Japanese government is slated to reconsider its subsidy scheme for eco-friendly cars, with a prospective increase for electric vehicles (EVs). This move is regarded as an attempt to promote a greener economy and reduce carbon emissions, aligning with Japan's commitment to achieving zero carbon emissions by 2050. The development is likely to spur the EV market and boost sales in the country.

In Japan, eco-friendly cars, including Electric Vehicles (EVs), are perceived as an essential component of a sustainable future and are supported by the government via subsidies. These subsidies aim to reduce the initial purchase cost and encourage more people to switch from traditional vehicles to EVs. The push towards EVs not only involves a commitment to environmental protection but also response to societal expectations for actions to tackle climate change.

Similarly in the US and the EU, regulations have been adopted to encourage citizens to purchase EVs. Governments provide financial incentives like tax credits and subsidies to decrease the total cost of EVs. However, the scale of support varies amongst regions. The new move by Japan reasserts its commitment in taking more aggressive green measures in transportation.
