I think it's a combination of a few things.
The used prices were really excessively depressed to the point where people started getting some amazing deals.
You had a lot of people hearing about EV's, but hadn't really tried them. Like my boss wouldn't even test drive my Model S, but ended up getting his daughter a used leaf. Now he's likely going to get the next generation Leaf for his wife. He doesn't like the Model S/X because he feels as if they're too expensive, and the Model 3 is way too far away.
There also seems to be some large demand in some areas. Like I heard that in Alaska the leafs were selling like hot cakes. Apparently people liked them because in Alaska you have lots of places to plug in. Since you have to plug in an ICE car anyways.
That's brilliant, of course, there are plugs for engine block warmers in almost every parking space in Fairbanks, it is perfect for EV's! (if they can accept some range loss due to subzero temps)
