One year ago, the Nissan Leaf made its way across the pond to the European market – and to say that it has been a sales success is an understatement. Since its release, the Leaf has gone on to sell 26,000 units, topping the charts for the first eight months. According to the automaker, that equates to one unit sold every minute across the continent!
Â
The 2018 Leaf has been most popular in markets, such as Austria, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. But, in Norway, the Leaf has become the top-selling passenger car of the year, outclassing all electric and combustion-powered models alike. Talk about an achievement!Â
Â
Many European commercial operations have also been buying up the EV to fill the need for eco-friendly, low-cost fleet vehicles. Not only will this save businesses a considerable amount on fuel with the Leaf’s zero-emission performance, but the plug-in is also affordable to maintain and keep on the road with no need for oil changes or spark plug replacements.
