This month it was the second most sold car! Only beaten by the VW Golf. (Though the Golf is ahead of the competition by a very wide margin, so the Leaf will be hard pressed to become the most sold car anytime soon.)
It will be interesting to see how the VW Up! wil do in it's EV version over here. I think VW should have just made an EV version of the Golf, it would sell well in Norway and perhaps all of Europe? When the Model S comes I don't think it will cannibalize Leaf sales either, different price range. But there will be quite a few used Leafs on the market when the Model Ss start rolling in
