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 Leaf models 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 to 2016 fiscal year, a new annual record.

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.
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 Leaf offers a fun, practical, zero emission mobility solution for all.
