New figures show that so far in 2016, the Nissan LEAF is not only the world’s best-selling electric vehicle (EV), but also the third best-selling passenger car overall in Norway.
Nissan made an early commitment to zero emission technology, recognising it as a sustainable, practical transport solution.
Nissan has supported 100 percent electric mobility since 2010, long before competitors entered the market, introducing the Nissan LEAF as the world’s first mass-market electric
car and the e-NV200, as a practical and versatile all-electric commercial vehicle.
There are already close to 25,000 Nissan LEAFs on Norwegian roads and sales in the country are growing rapidly, with 2,450 units sold so
far in 2016 – an increase of 58.7 percent compared with the same period last year.
These figures come after Nissan announced sales of 16,916 electric cars in Europe for the 2015-16 fiscal year — a new annual record.
