1/2 price monthly car park

An advert at a monthly car park service in Ginza, known for recording the most expensive land values in Japan for many years. JPY60,000 (USD646) per month. Expensive? There's a way to reduce its fee.
日本で最も地価の高い銀座地域でみつけた、月極駐車場の広告。60,000円／月。高いって？　ならば、こうすれば安くなる。

It says, if you own a hybrid vehicle or electric vehicle, EV, its monthly fee is reduced 50% -- JPY30,000.
広告にはこう書いてある。「ハイブリッド車、電気自動車なら30,000円」。

Is this promotion service sponsored by TOYOTA / HONDA?
はたしてこのプロモーション、トヨタやホンダのスポンサーを受けているのか？

It's 50% off. Or, they've just been ripping you off.
大胆に50%オフ......もともとの値段がぼったくりプライスだったのかも。
