The German government is introducing a new purchase premium for electric cars, retroactive for vehicles newly registered since the start of the year. Subsidies ranging from 1,500 to 6,000 euros will be available based on income and family status. Environment Minister Carsten Schneider views it as a boost for the domestic automotive industry.
Japan's waste management organization will carry out a literature review on the geology of Minamitorishima, located nearly 2,000 kilometers from Tokyo, to determine its suitability as a nuclear disposal site.

The US government rescinded a rule on Wednesday that allowed electric vehicles to count as having artificially high fuel-economy values under Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. Analysts say this rollback pushes the US auto industry further towards petrol cars, discourages EV innovation, and gives China a competitive edge. Environmental groups criticise the move as harming American families' long-term interests for short-term profits to auto and oil giants.
