Japanese car manufacturers actually sell a lot of EVs... in Japan. They don't seem to be interested in selling those mini EVs abroad.

Well to be fair, trying to sell anything with the word mini in it in America is it uphill struggle; if there's one thing us Americans hate, it's walking uphill.

Unless they're made by the Brits or Italians for some reason.

Unfortunately the SUV cancer is coming hard in Italy as well. Btw, small cars are super usefull and confortable for daily commuting and to park them easily and anywhere without warring.

Also, bigger cars are taxed more.
