Dead End? March LEAF Electric Car Sales Increase by 286.2% [View all]



"March 2013, was a record month for sales of Nissan cars and trucks in North America with 137,726 units sold, 2,236 of them LEAF all-electric cars.

What a difference a year can make.

In March 2012, Nissan dealerships in North America sold only 579 LEAF electric cars. This year that number jumped to 2,236 units, an increase of 286.2% calendar year-to-date (CYTD). The increase in sales is the best of the entire Nissan product line. The month also marketed the first full month of LEAF production at the Smyrna, Tennessee plant."
