Turning Over A New Leaf








Electric car sales are not booming globally despite many governments offering incentives to buy. The Leaf has spearheaded Nissan's BEV efforts and it has been well received. The model has been manufactured at three sites as seen below. 

The data is not provided by Nissan so accuracy is reliant on other parties. A few may have been produced in 2010. Sources mention over 650,000 having been produced and these figures indicated the 700k mark may have been reached. 

Two series have been produced so far as the change in colour in the Year column indicates. 300,000 for Series 1 and 400,000 for Series 2.

Series three is coming after a slight break and it appears to be well executed. It majors on a nice interior and has a good mileage range per charge. It certainly would be on my shopping list if I was looking for an electric car.
