2Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles（PHEV）
Subsidy amount is 200,000 yen for all vehicles.
（limited to EVs with calculated driving range over 30km）
3Fuel Cell Energy Vehicles（FCEV）・Clean Diesel Vehicles（CDV）
Subsidy amount is calculated based on the price（MSRP）difference between the clean energy vehicle and the gasoline-powered vehicles of the same model/grade.
