Response to Yifan Liu’s post on cost efficient vehicles in Japan.

The concept put forward by the company ZEVe is seems very ideal at first. It is ideal in the sense that it costs it presents a low cost alternative to car. It’s a really profitable opportunity for the business to advance itself in the existing market and enter a new one for compact cars. It also enhances efficiency as the car can literally handle four people at a time. However, its not all good news. Given the large population density of the country, it may not be a good idea for Japan. It might result in even more traffic problem in Japan as more people are going to buy it because of the lower price. It will eventually improve the standard of living of Japanese people as most of them will now have cars instead of bikes.
