Are the hybrids plug-in hybrids? As you say, Japan has no domestic source for petroleum. Thus one would think they'd opt for cars in which some of the miles are all-electric.
How do they generate their power? I don't care much for the left's push for solar and wind because I don't believe we're destroying the world and such. However, I can see Japan welcoming whatever ways they can generate power without depending on imports. If they have a lot of coal deposits that would be attractive IMHO.
Hey, Tell It Right. I’ll have to check if these hybrids include a plug-in option. Cheers.
