This paper discusses the issues related to the trend and market development in EV. How do we understand this EV boom? We will concentrate on the following issues: (1) Why did China's industrial policy shift from a gasoline vehicle to EV? (2) What factors cause that change? (3) Why did Japan lag behind China in EV?China, which has a large population and a growing middle class, is likely to become a leading player in the future. But, the Chinese government faces many problems.The problems are serious air pollution problem, import natural energy, industrial competitiveness, and sustainable economic growth, and so on. To solve the problems, The Chinese government is implementing industry policy focused on EV, especially battery EV. On the other hand, the characteristics of Japanese automobile market have the late installation of EV charging infrastructure, a long-time consumption, and relatively small market, and so on. These are the reasons why Japan (or Japanese maker) is slower than China (or Chinese maker) in the early stage of EV diffusion.In conclusion, this stage is not EV boom but the take-off of EV in the innovation diffusion process. Given the uniqueness of the Chinese market, we should observe the market with the focus on sales rather than the supply rate. Also, we should pay more attention to the role of government as a resource allocation coordinator in the transition period of an industrial ecosystem.
