Re: Japan breaks ranks (none / 0)

Well, I was thinking "Japanese century" in the sense that they modernized to the point of competitiveness with Russia early in the century, then the US midway, then globally after WW2.

As far as cars go, they currently sell a lot. But their EV situation is pretty bad. Maybe they will catch up with South Korea, China, the US, and the EU, but they had better get going.

Re: Japan breaks ranks (none / 1)

They kinda took the lead in EV car market with Leafs and Priuses, but mid 201os the whole nation started this "hydrogen society" -thing, and car makers followed the trend. So their focus is mostly on hydrogen cars now, an area where they, I think, clearly lead at the moment.
