A few months ago we reported that the diminutive Think City had snatched the top spot as the world’s best-selling city EV with over 2,500 vehicles now on the road.
But that claim is now dwarfed by Mitsubishi, which last week celebrated the 5,000th i-Miev electric car to roll off its Japanese production line - and it hasn’t even started to sell the car in Europe or North America.
Nissan is now in full production of its 2011 Leaf, which is bigger, faster, more feature-filled and even goes further than the Mitsubishi i. The Leaf also has a staged worldwide rollout which is due to commence very soon.
And with 20,000 pre-orders on the books, Nissan looks to be ready to snatch the title from Mitsubishi very shortly, although that accolade depends on all of the Nissan reservations being
