EVs and low-emission vehicles, incentivising demand with cash rebates when they are not even available to meet demand, has already caused wholesale price increases in Japan. On Suzuki's website, they state the following: "From July 1st, the Clean Car Discount programme will come into effect … Suzuki's affordable range of vehicles do not qualify for a rebate". I'll say that again: "Suzuki's affordable range of vehicles do not qualify for a rebate". I think this simple statement really highlights the Government's priorities here. If you want an affordable car, you're going to get the stick.
