Nissan's Leaf Is The Best Selling EV On The Planet, But You May Never Guess Who Is Number 2

The Nissan LEAF is (and will remain for quite some time) the best-selling plug-in electric car with more than 360,000 units worldwide, according to data released by Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg.

The second best-selling model globally is Tesla Model S with more than 240,000, followed by another BEV – the BAIC EC-Series – with over 170,000 sales. The results are similar, although the numbers are slightly different, compared to EV Sales Blog report.

Next year, they'll be #1 with the 3. In 2018, 80% of all EVs sold in the US were Tesla's. Think about that.

The Leaf is a Crossover design. The Tesla is an old fashioned boring sedan.

It's more of a 4-door coupe hatchback than a sedan. You're also smoking crack if you think any version of the Leaf looks better than the S.
