EV sales in Norway vis-a-vis Japan in June 2025


While Norway reported a staggering 97% of new cars sold in June 2025 were electric, Japan remains far behind. 

Despite generous subsidies, Japan's EV share is estimated to be just 1.8% to 2% of new car sales. 

Japan continues to favor hybrid vehicles, with over 40% of sales being hybrids, particularly Toyota’s Prius. 

Experts cite Japan’s slow policy shifts and consumer hesitation toward full electrification. 

Norway’s success stems from aggressive tax incentives and nearly 100% hydropower-based electricity. 

Meanwhile, Japan’s reliance on fossil fuels and outdated infrastructure stalls real EV progress.

Massive pile-up on Pune-Mumbai Expressway on 2025-07-26

A container truck supposedly had a brake failure on the Mumbai bound flank of Pune-Mumbai Expressway, just after the Khopoli Exit which resulted in a 22 vehicle pile up at around 3 pm on Saturday 2025-07-26. A 58 year old lady lost her life and several people were injured. The police and ambulance swung into action shortly after the mishap.  It's our earnest request to media and police not to make this an open & shut case by citing brake failure as the cause for the incident!  The media is reporting that the brakes of the container truck driven by a 29 years old driver from UP had failed. What makes them so sure that the truck driver was not another kaddu biriyani cook cum vlogger whose aspiration was to build a house worth ₹2 crores by posting nonsensical videos on social media 😡  It's an earnest appeal to authorities (including MORTH)  by Indian Roadie and Maharashtra Roadie to Ban_CV_Driver_Vloggers throughout India. Since the past 3 - 4 years there are too m...
