With a record-breaking 2013 behind it, Nissan’s Leaf topped the charts in Europe with 11,120 sales – a massive 204% rise compared to 2012.

Furthermore Nissan is keen to point out that the Leaf is head and shoulders above its nearest rivals, achieving 25% more sales than its closest competitor.

With a combination of generous tax, charging and parking concessions aimed boosting electric car take-up, it’s no surprise to learn that Norway is the epicenter of Leaf ownership in Europe. It’s also the market leader in the UK.
