– Tokyo, Japan The first thing I noticed when I put my 6-foot-5 American frame behind the wheel of a Japanese domestic market Nissan Sakura EV is that I could wear a literal top hat in this car. The best-selling EV in Japan is many things – narrow, upright, stylish, perhaps even lovable but cramped is not one of them.
A range of around 100 miles for an EV is terrible for marketing in this country, in 2023, without question. Yet I know that there are people like me, who work from home and drive less than 10 miles a day on average, more than able to make that sort of operational envelope work without much effort. Setting The Scale For reference, I think it’s useful to compare the Sakura to a minimally viable product, on sale in the U.S., in the ICE world: the unloved Mitsubishi Mirage.
