Nissan Leaf is Gold
The Japanese EV is up 16% YoY, with some 1.800 units, placing the YTD numbers at over 14.000 units, a 28% increase over the same period last year and the EV Share steady at 0.6%. At this rhythm, we are possibly headed for a record year, with the 32.4k units recorded in 2014 within sight of being broker until December, 31st.
The 30kWh-rejuvenated Nissan Leaf continues to be the main driving force, with 1.323 units, up 50% YoY, and with YTD sales at 9.407 units, it has bested the 2015 result (9.057), and with total sales heading to some 19k sales, expect the yearly all-time record for a single model in Japan (14.177 units, sold by the same Leaf, in 2014), to be broken by October.
On the other hand, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV continues to be ashamed by Nissan's hatch, having registered only 253 units, mode than 1.000 units behind its competitor.
It looks the Leaf will recover the Best Seller status in Japan by a landslide, earning its Fourth trophy, after its 2011 & 2013/4 wins.
