When it comes to electric car sales, the Nissan Leaf has been the reigning champ for many years. It was one of the first commercial electric vehicles introduced, and through its affordable price and extended range it has consistently outsold the competition. Moving into 2017, several companies released brand new electric cars that looked to be contenders for the title, but none have been able to beat the reliability and affordability that the Leaf offers. Come see why a Nissan Leaf from Coast Nissan remains the top electric car on the market.
Since 2008, people like Jose Pontes have been measuring the global market impact of electric cars. He is the primary data source for several technological journals and articles, and his recent EV Sales blog looked at trends from January and February of this year. During this period the Nissan Leaf was by far the world’s best selling #electric vehicle, beating out big names like Tesla and Chevy. In fact, the Nissan Leaf outsold its competitors by about 8,000 units in these two months. This margin is expected to grow even more for the March and April data, as the remodeled 2017 Nissan Leaf was released during this period. The 2017 Leaf has substantially more range and a new cabin makeover.
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why the Leaf has performed so well, but there are several factors that have contributed. Its biggest appeal is affordability, which is a big factor for people to consider when making the switch to an electric car. Nissan also provides several incentives with a Leaf purchase, including two years of free charging at the thousands of stations that have recently been installed in major areas.
