Oslo (NORWAY) 20 June 2016: 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.
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.
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, a practical and versatile all-electric commercial vehicle.
Norway has one of the largest #ev markets in Europe, with EVs accounting for 15 percent of new car sales so far in 2016. #nissan has supported the development of quick charging infrastructure for EVs in #norway, partnering with supermarket chain, KIWI, to install 50 quick chargers at their stores throughout the country.
Gareth Dunsmore, Director of Electric Vehicles, #nissan Europe, said: “Norway is spearheading the switch to sustainable mobility and we’re delighted that the #nissan #leaf continues to be ranked as one of the most popular vehicles in the country. #nissan has been at the forefront of the electric vehicle movement since the introduction of the #nissan #leaf in 2010 and with its third generation now available, we are confident that we will retain a leading position in the ever-expanding #ev market.”
Launched in Europe earlier this year, the #nissan #leaf 30 kWh delivers up to 250 km* of driving range on a single charge – a 26 percent increase on its predecessor. Coupled with its low running costs, spaciousness, innovative technology and safety features, the #nissan #leaf offers a fun, practical, zero emission mobility solution for all.
