    How is Japan going to do that by 2035? Almost nobody has a garage, and there are no charging spaces at the parking spots most people are forced to rent (you need one within 2km of your residence). I haven’t heard of any mandate to get charging spots installed at these rental parking areas, and then there’s the issue of how electricity would be billed. Electric cars are for the very wealthy right now ( in Japan ).

      Maybe they’re banking on the idea of hydrogen fuel, since Toyota is a big fan of it. Also the footnote stated they will allow hybrid as well, so pure ICE are the one affected.
