Although the Chevy Volt is the leading plug-in electric vehicle in the United States today, Nissan plans to change that in the very near future. The 2014 Leaf has 35 percent North American content, 40 percent Japanese, and 25 percent from a variety of other countries – which is up in the North American segment from last year’s 15 percent North American content. Nissan Motors is continually working to localize more content where is makes the most sense and they believe that as domestically produced electric-car production rises, the percentage of localized content will increase. Furthermore, Nissan hopes that if Chevrolet continues to show stagnant sales in the next several months like it has in the past year, they will become the number one plug-in electric car in the United States – pushing the Chevy Volt out of their number one ranking.
