It's hard to believe, but it's been almost four years since the first Nissan LEAF was sold here in the United States. Since then, the Japanese automaker's all-electric vehicle has become increasingly popular amongst the folks here at Marc Motors Nissan and those nationwide, too.
In fact, the proof of that is in the pudding. The team that offers your Nissan auto service in Sanford, ME is pleased to announce that, as of last month, a hearty 35,000 units of the Nissan LEAF EV have been distributed throughout the fifty states. Naturally, that growing volume had to start somewhere.
Allow us to introduce you to Olivier Chalouhi; he's kind of a big deal. You see, back in December of 2010, he was the first person stateside to purchase the Nissan EV. Chalouhi, whom is a family man with three lovely kids, selected his black plug-in LEAF SL over the competition due to its all-electric underpinnings.
Today that EV powertrain is an extra perk. Now, don't get us wrong; his LEAF still allows him exciting efficiency and an ample driving range of 73 miles, but his all-electric vehicle has become much more.
Namely, in the 30,000 miles that he's driven his Nissan LEAF SL, Chalouhi has become smitten with its driving dynamics. Furthermore, the model's spacious interior has allowed the family of five plenty of room to take the Nissan EV on long road trips.
