Why are there few people riding electric cars on the streets of Japan?

The reason is that Japanese people don't like riding electric cars very much. They think that electric cars are not as good as riding motorcycles. Motorcycles have an advantage in handling feeling and speed as battery cars, because motorcycles are not restricted in Japan. Another reason is that the means of transportation in Japan are relatively developed, not only subways, but also commuter railways. Local cars are also very popular. Most people have cars in their homes, so it is unnecessary to ride electric cars.

Speaking of the electric vehicle, it is estimated that everyone is familiar with it. In big cities, electric vehicles are far more common than bicycles and cars. Because the price of cars is relatively high, and cars are prone to traffic jams and parking is more troublesome, many people are reluctant to buy cars at home. Bicycles are not as advantageous as electric vehicles in terms of speed, so only people who exercise often ride bicycles as a means of transportation. However, electric vehicles are rarely seen in our neighboring Japan, and many people come to Japan to travel and walk on the streets.

First of all, the relative income of Japanese people is relatively high, so every household in Japan often has a car, and it is convenient to travel. In addition, the transportation network in cities is very dense. For example, the commuter railways and subways in Japan's metropolitan area are very developed, and the convenience far exceeds that in any place in China. Therefore, their transportation is not a problem. There is no need to buy an electric car to travel, and driving is not as easy as traffic jams in China. Most people in China don't like driving in big cities. First, it is because there are too many traffic jams.

There is another reason. Like most countries, motorcycles are not restricted in Japan, so Japanese prefer to drive motorcycles rather than battery cars. In their minds, motorcycles are far more maneuverable than battery cars, and the feeling of riding them is different. Therefore, they are either motorcycles or bicycles, and few people can drive battery cars, but battery cars are more popular in Southeast Asian countries.
