Plug-in America reported that plug-in vehicle sales reached the quarter-million mark in the U.S. on September 10 and Nissan is sitting at the top of EV sales in the world with its Leaf. The company announced that since it was launched four years ago, the Leaf has sold around 61,000 units in the U.S.
“I love it. I save so much time and money on not having to go and fill up with gas,” said Christiana Bush, EV parade participant and Nissan Leaf owner. “And I just charge at Google, where I work, so it is awesome.”
