Nissan Leaf beats Chevy Volt in May - grabs 2013 sales lead

[truebluefan]

The Nissan Leaf had one of its strongest months ever in May 2013, sending out 2,138 units to happy new EV owners around the United States. This figure is just 98 vehicles less than the monthly sales record from March 2013 and May 2013 brought about a massive increase over the same month in 2012 when just 510 copies of the Leaf reached buyers in the US. This strong month allowed Nissan to claim the monthly EV sales title for the third straight month but more importantly with a total of 7,614 Leaf EVs sold this year, the Leaf leads the Chevrolet Volt in annual sales for 2013. Nissan sold just 2,613 Leaf EVs in the first five months of 2012 so the all electric Nissan is off to a much better start in 2013 with a current average that could lead to roughly 18,200 units throughout the year.
