Why do you rarely see electric cars in Japan? Japanese: Although it is convenient, we are not stupid

The number of

electric vehicles in my country is still very high, and many office workers like to buy electric vehicles to travel. The main reason is that electric cars are relatively cheap and can basically be bought; short distances are also very convenient, so there is no need to worry about traffic jams. However, because many people did not abide by the traffic rules when riding electric vehicles, many accidents occurred, so electric vehicles were later banned in China. Japan has not banned electric vehicles. Why are electric vehicles rarely seen in Japan?

Everyone knows that because electric vehicles are cheap and compact, people in my country and many countries in Southeast Asia like to ride electric vehicles very much. But when many people travel to Japan, they rarely see people riding electric bikes on the streets of Japan. First, because Japan's per capita income is relatively high, many people can afford small cars, so there is no need to ride electric bikes.

Second, because Japan’s public transportation system is very developed, many people like to take public transportation. And many Japanese people like to travel farther in their spare time, but the battery life of electric vehicles is not high and cannot meet the needs of most people. Therefore, there are very few people who ride electric vehicles in Japan, and many people like to ride. Fueled cars, because refueling is much more convenient than charging.

Third, after the battery of an electric car is broken, it is very difficult to recycle. If it is thrown away randomly, it will cause serious pollution. The Japanese have a relatively strong environmental awareness. The land area is small and the population is large, so a large number of Japanese don't like electric vehicles.

So for these reasons, there are very few people riding electric bikes in Japan, and it is difficult to see an electric bike on the road. Although electric vehicles are very popular in our country, after a ban, it is difficult to see electric vehicles in cities.
