Nissan Motor has announced that its global EV sales have surpassed the one million unit milestone, almost one-third of which have been to European customers.
Under its Nissan Ambition 2030 long-term vision, the carmaker plans to launch 19 EV models globally by fiscal year 2030.
A press release from the company noted that since its launch in December 2010, the Leaf has sold more than 650,000 units worldwide, and the model is currently sold in approximately 50 markets centring on Japan, the US and Europe.
Notably, production of the Leaf for European markets was localised in 2013 to Nissan's Sunderland Plant in the UK, and more than 263,000 have been sold in the region to date.
In 2022, the vehicle maker started selling Ariya all-electric crossover, which features its latest design language and technologies, such as e-4ORCE all-wheel control and ProPILOT 2.0 advanced driver support.
Under its commercial vehicle offering, the company launched its first electric van in Europe, the e-NV200, in 2014, which went on to sell more than 45,000 units across the continent before introducing its successor, the Townstar EV, earlier this year.
The company also aims to launch EVs powered by all solid-state batteries developed in-house by fiscal year 2028 and expand its EV lineup to meet the diverse needs of customers worldwide. Two future EVs have already been announced for the European market, a new-generation electric crossover previewed by the CHILL-OUT concept model and an all-new compact electric vehicle that will become the entry-level vehicle in Nissan's electrified lineup.
