The wording in red is an example of an introduction; delete the red text and all of the information in brackets before beginning your assignment.] In the year 2016, Americans purchased approximately 17.5 million vehicles; less than 1% of these sales were electric or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Meanwhile, other nations, like China and Norway, have eclipsed the United States in electric vehicle market share (Sperling, 2018). These is no doubt from the international scientific community that carbon emissions from traditional internal combustion engine vehicles contribute significantly to climate change, and that electric vehicles represent a viable strategy to curb the automotive industry’s negative impact on the environment. Why then do electric vehicle (EV) sales still lag in the United States and what can be done to increase sales? The US government should increase the incentives for the production and consumption of electric cars because the United States is falling behind other nations in market share of electric cars, they are still too expensive for most consumers, and research demonstrates that electric cars are effective at reducing carbon emissions, which contribute to climate change.

While US consumers purchase one-fifth of the world’s EVs, that represents just a tiny fraction of the American vehicle market. The largest EV market is China, with more than half of world’s EV sales. Many countries in Europe are likewise adopting EVs at much higher rates per capita, including Norway, where EVs represent 30% of vehicle sales (Sperling, 2018). The European Parliament and European Union have paved the way for greater EV consumption by setting 2020 targets for EVs and charging stations in all EU member states (Noori & Tatari, 2016). In addition, Japan’s government and private sector have also displayed a commitment to the shift toward EVs, by committing to adding 6,000 new fast chargers ...

6. Technology
Japan United States
The worlds largest market for
hybrids
Among world’s largest and
technologically advanced
producers of motor vehicles.
Rapid urbanization also weakens
the demand for automobiles because
Japan’s cities are connected with top
quality public transportation.
People are finding that owning a
car is not a necessity.
The US has the largest and most
technologically powerful economy in
the world
Being risk-takers, no other country can
imitate it’s technological creativity.
David Kirkpatrick, Fortune senior
editor said,” this is the country where
some of the most important
breakthrough products are still being
created”.
7. Culture
Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions
Power Distance
Japan is more conscious of hierarchical position
while the United States everyone has equal rights.
Individualism
Japan is more collectivist where as the U.S are
more individualistic.
Masculinity
Japan is the most masculine in the world, they
drive for excellence and perfection. The U.S. live
to work to earn their money and higher status.
Uncertainty Avoidance
Japan is most UA on earth because of the constant
threats of natural disasters and changes are so
different to realize in Japan. In the US they accept
new ideas, new products and are risk takers.
Long Term Orientation
People in Japan see their life as a very short
moment, you do your best in your life time and
that is all you can do. Their business is to serve
the stakeholders and society at large for many
generations to come. The US is more short term
orientated where the business performance is
based on a short term basis and profits are on a
quarterly basis.
8. Analysis
Japan was recuperating from the recall of Toyota products and Toyota was on
its way of recovering from the recall fiasco that affected 14 million vehicles
worldwide.
On March 11, 2011 a 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit Japan and caused many
damages to the Toyota manufacturing facilities.
The earthquake shut down 11 nuclear power reactors and nearly 10% of
Japan’s electrical power generation.
Production was stopped in Japan and American car manufactures were to
concerned because they rely on the Japanese companies for auto parts.
The American manufacturing factories cut production because of the parts
shortages but didn’t fire any employees.
Since Japan is high in masculinity dimension, Toyota’s president and
member of the founding family he repeatedly said the company remains
committed to keeping production and jobs inside Japan.
