【文/观察者网 潘昱辰 编辑/高莘】据《日本经济新闻》报道，日本经济产业省对2026年第一季度购买 纯电动车型时的补贴金额进行了调整。其中丰田、日产、铃木等日本品牌车型及特斯拉的补贴额被大幅 增加，而中国品牌比亚迪在日本销售的4款车型均未增加补贴，因此引发了诸多质疑。 在比亚迪日本公司社长东福寺厚树看来，新的补贴政策对比亚迪"压倒性不利"。目前，比亚迪在日本销 售的所有车型补贴金额在35万—45万日元（约合人民币1.52万—1.95万元），与丰田的补贴差额达到95 万日元（约合人民币4.12万元）。 在日本，比亚迪由知名影星长泽雅美代言 比亚迪 日本政府对电动汽车补贴的评定标准主要由两部分组成，其一是涉及车辆性能等的"车型评估"；其二是 涉及充电基础设施建设和维修人才培养等的"企业评估"。其总分为200分，最终根据车企的得分确定补 贴金额。 但东福寺厚树表示，比亚迪在日本经济产业省处获得的评分很低。例如，比亚迪明明正在日本推进快速 充电桩的建设，但在充电基础设施完善方面的得分却是0。反倒是其他一些没有推进快充桩建设的厂 商，最终也获得了评分。 对此， 比亚迪日本公司向日本经济产业省询问了评分的理由，后者却回应 ...
