Yup. At ~100k miles it'll reach cost parity w/ the cheaper gas version in Japan, and in fleet service if it makes it to ~200k it'll save ~$15k. Iono if the average driver would be able to rack up enough miles before Shaken "encouraged" a sale (unless they tax it differently as an EV) but it seems like it does have a fairly cost effective market.
