#LeafSales

According to a recent report, the 2018 Nissan Leaf is already a success in Europe and Japan.

Nissan has delivered 75,000 Leaf electric vehicles in the U.S.

The Nissan Leaf is the first plug-in vehicle that has sold over 30,000 units in a single year.

After experiencing a surge in sales last year, Nissan hopes to see its Leaf sales double within the near future.

Nissan released the top 15 markets where its Leaf electric car sells best today.

By most standards, the  Nissan Leaf is a slow seller. Then again, most standards don’t apply to electric cars.

While sales of 1,864 units isn’t anything to boast about, the Nissan Leaf outsold the Chevrolet Volt last month by a margin of 76 units.

Almost two and a half years after the Nissan Leaf went on sale, the little electric car can count 25,000 sales in the U.S.

The Nissan Leaf enjoyed a second month of strong sales while the Chevrolet Volt fell 11 percent in April.

It’s no surprise to anyone that has been paying attention to the Leaf’s sales figures, but Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn has confirmed that his company will not meet the sales target for its all-electric vehicle. 

It’s a battle of less than epic proportions, yes, but the Chevrolet Volt outsold Nissan’s Leaf by a big margin for the second month in a row last month.

As July’s car sales figures start to trickle in, the Chevrolet Volt continued its dominance against the Nissan Leaf for the sixth straight month in a row.

Sales of the Nissan Leaf have been stumbling as of late, with the Chevy Volt trumping it several months in a row. A few Nissan dealers are now offering the EV with up to $5,000 off its MSRP of $38,100 hoping to entice hesitant buyers to pull the trigger.

What a turnaround the Chevrolet Volt has experienced in the past few months.

Nissan has a reason to celebrate now that their electric vehicle, the Leaf, has achieved its milestone of 10,000 vehicles sold in the US. The Leaf, which first hit the American market in December 2010, still isn’t available in all 50 states – though Nissan looks to rectify that by March of this year.

Surely the impressive sales figure proves that American consumers are open to the idea of electric vehicles. In fact, we would go so far as to say that the worldwide market is embracing EVs as Nissan has sold 20,000 Leafs globally. The Leaf’s impressive sales figures trump all other OEMs combined sales of electric vehicles throughout the world – though that’s not saying much, considering there isn’t much competition out there as of yet.

It’ll be interesting to see if the Leaf stays strong in the sales category once the Ford Focus Electric and even the Honda Fit EV hit the marketplace.
