I do not know why but cars cost more there. It might be cheaper elsewhere. I expect a 20 km range is enough for most people's commuting range in Japan. It might not be enough in the US. The GM volt range is nominally 40 miles (64 mi). Even 10 km would save a lot of gasoline with some niche applications, and for some customers. There are conversion kits for regular Priuses with that range. - Jed
