"KG Motors, a Japanese startup, has developed a small, affordable, one-seater electric car called the mibot. The vehicle aims to tackle Japan's narrow streets and aging population issues. With a range of 100 kilometers, a charging time of five hours, and a top speed of 60 kilometers per hour, the mibot is priced at $7,000.

"...mibot could kickstart Japan's electric vehicle market, which has lagged behind other countries in terms of EV adoption."
