@davidzipper as a #EV #keicar owner in #Australia, I can confirm it's happening here too. Even brand new kei cars that previously were able to be grey imported have become unregisterable due to the fact that Japan now harmonises with #EU manufacturing regulations, but there's a few differences with #AU regs, and on that basis they've now decided, FU kei cars. Which is fucking ridiculous. I've got one that is over 10 years old and it's still importable as the changes came in to Japanese manufacturing since then, but one I've been considering to get next that is an as-yet unreleased 2024 new car, may not be possible to get regoed here (still unsure at this point) just total bollocks.
