It’s powerful, efficient and delivers a dynamic driving experience that drivers love so much that it’s now the best-selling plug-in vehicle in the United States. That’s a quite a title and the Nissan Leaf beats out the likes of competitors like the Chevy Volt. In the month of March 2015 the Nissan Leaf sold 1,817 and the Chevy Volt only 639 vehicles.
