Nissan had quite a lot of success with its Leaf model, 2013 being a formidable year for this particular car as the company recorded 11,120 sales in Europe. It appears that Nissan managed to take on the EV market, selling 25 percent more units last year than the next best seller in Europe.
Yes, the Nissan Leaf came to be a leader on the European EV market, Norway sales helping the company considerably. Of course, there are also other countries where the Leaf has known success. We’re talking about Spain, Italy, Finland, Belgium, Sweden and the United Kindgom.
If 2013 was a good year for Nissan, it appears the company doesn’t have any plans to change that and want to make 2014 a success as well. Jean-Pierre Diernaz, Director of Electric Vehicles, Nissan Europe stated that “January has been a fantastic start to 2014, a year when [they] will launch [their] second 100 percent electric model in Europe - the Nissan e-NV200 light commercial vehicle.”
Also, he went on to say that according to a survey that followed the launch of the improved European-built Nissan Leaf, 97 percent of owners would recommend a Nissan Leaf to a friend. Therefore, the company believes that by combining this with a rapidly expanding charging infrastructure, they will improve their sales in 2014 and have even more success with this particular model.
