Our mission

To leave the beautiful Earth for our children in the future: this is our strong desire which has driven us to establish an organization to promote electric vehicles. The goal of the organization is to preserve the global environment and to realize a sustainable society. Now is the time for us to take action in order that the future generations, including our children and grandchildren, can continue living a healthy life in rich natural environment as we have, and we believe that this is our responsibility.

In addition to the major automobile companies, small to mid-size enterprises have also focused their knowledge on the development of the electric vehicles and are making remarkable achievements in recent years. With the Association for the Promotion of Electric Vehicles, we hope to assemble the wisdom and power of various organizations such as business corporations above, individuals, and research institutions, and to support the development, diffusion, promotion and subsequent commercialization of electric vehicles from general public's perspective.

It is our intention to acquire broad cooperation from people in positions throughout various industries to exert their influences in all directions. This will realize a world where many consumers consider electric vehicles among other candidates for personal transportation and actually select one. We would sincerely like to request you for the endorsement.
