Nissan LEAF & ARIYA Sales Collapse in USA

Nissan’s electric vehicle sales in the US have plummeted dramatically in the first quarter of 2026, with the LEAF dropping 71.2% to just 668 units sold and the ARIYA collapsing by 98.6% to 56 units following its market withdrawal. This steep decline coincides with the end of the $7,500 US EV tax credit, which has severely impacted consumer demand despite the growing global interest in electric vehicles. The US EV market faces significant challenges, contrasting sharply with rising EV adoption in other countries, leaving the future outlook uncertain.
