Japanese car manufacturers actually sell a lot of EVs... in Japan. They don't seem to be interested in selling those mini EVs abroad.
They sell slightly modified kei cars in other countries, but not these electric models.
Maybe in the US, but in Asia, a huge portion of sales for Honda, Toyota and Suzuki are for their modified kei cars. Even so, they still don't seem interested in releasing their electric models there. This gap is currently filled by Chinese EV manufacturers.
