In Norway (pop. 5 million), we have 174 new Leafs in the month of July.
It is the 16th most sold car in Norway.
I think Leaf has a big price advantage in Norway. For eg. How much does a Golf cost ?
The VW Golf varies from approx. USD 38k to USD 48k - including sales tax.
The Leaf is USD 44k (no sales tax applicable).
However, a gallon of gas is about USD 10 (!), which is pretty significant.
Also, for electric vehicles all tunnels, national ferries and road tolls are free.
I know of people who save up to USD 6000 per year in gas and road tolls.
In addition to all of the above, all electric cars park free on all street parking, we drive in the bus lane, we don't pay USD 400 annual car tax, and from this year 50% of all public parking spaces in the capital will be reserved for electric vehicles (with free 3.6 kW charging for all of them).
