Wow. This thread has been inactive for awhile.

In 2019, Nearly 20,000 Nissan LEAFs Were Sold In Japan

With 1,157 sales last month (up 154% year-over-year), the LEAF closed the year 2019 in Japan with 19,789 sales (#38 most popular model).

The total result is 23% lower than in the record year 2018, but on the positive side, it's still the second-best year for the LEAF in Japan ever. There is also no other BEV even close to the LEAF.

On a more general note about Japan: In 2019, The Japanese Plug-In Electric Car Market Declined Again.

The Japanese plug-in electric car market is in a disappointing stage. After a 7% decrease in 2018, in 2019 sales decreased by another 17% year-over-year to 43,867.

The market share was just 0.8% (compared to 1.0% in 2018, and 1.1% in 2017), which is very low compared to many other countries.

With all the CHAdeMO fast-charging and the island-type of country, we would expect that Japan, an oil importer, would be a leading plug-in car market.
