When sales of the all-electric Nissan LEAF peaked above 30,000 units in 2014, it appeared the Japanese automaker made a smart early bet on EVs. No other model has sold more than 30,000 units in a single year. At that time, the LEAF was on its way toward dominating the future electric car market the same way Prius has been the perennial leader for hybrids.
Unfortunately, the number of new takers of the LEAF has steadily declined since then. The final tally for US sales of the LEAF in 2016 will likely be around 13,000—less than half of where it was two years ago.
With the emergence of 200-mile affordable EVs—like the Chevy Bolt and upcoming Tesla Model 3—fans of plug-in cars have been wondering if and when Nissan will seriously get back into the electric car game with a long-range LEAF. There have been multiple media reports (and a lot of rumors) about a second-generation LEAF for 2018. But details have been scarce.
