In the months leading up to the 2010 introduction of the Nissan LEAF, Carlos Ghosn, the company’s chief executive, said his big bet on EVs was based on one company declaring itself as the undisputed leader of a specific advanced technology. Toyota already claimed hybrids, he said, in a scene that appears in the 2011 documentary Revenge of the Electric Car. Other companies would continue to make hybrids, but Toyota would always be the hybrid king. Ghosn announced that Nissan was staking its claim as the electric car leader and building a big battery plant to support its efforts.
In terms of total cumulative sales to date, Ghosn delivered. The Nissan LEAF is the most popular electric car in history, with around 100,000 vehicles on US roads and another 125,000 or so units in Europe and Asia.
