A clever choice of words, but generally miss-leading "it does not rely on oil." Because we leave that to the power generating utilities, which use over 60% of oil and other fossil fuels to generate Japan's electricity.
Whilst it is a step in the right direction & better than a gas guzzler, if you add back the externalities its definitely not "zero-emission."

I was able to convert my UK car licence with no drama, just doing the local paperwork & didn't need to go to school. However I convert get an automatic conversion for my large motorbike licence, so I choose Koyama to take my Japanese oogata licence. They aren't cheap but they do a good job, to teach you how to pass the test, mainly form over substance. However not the reality of driving on the Japanese roads, you only do that on your own if you pass with a bike. You have to learn how to drive over a horizontal ladder one rung at a time, but where are the taxi drivers changing lanes without indicating and doing an emergency stop to pick up a fare, or drifting through red lights 3 seconds after they have turned red trying to broadside you. Time to change the syllabus & hire a few taxi drivers to add some reality to the test I think...
