On September 20, a new Guinness World Record was set in
Cupertino, CA—and hundreds of Nissan LEAF drivers helped make it happen. A
procession of EV drivers set the new world
record for number of electric vehicles in a parade with 507
vehicles involved, beating the previous world record by 26. The event took
place as a part of Plug-In America’s National Drive Electric Week.
Out of the 507 cars, most were Nissan LEAFs. As Nissan LEAF
sales continue to climb since its launch four years ago, this event was great
exposure for the LEAF and the EV market in general. Toby Perry, Director of
Nissan EV marketing, said, “The fact that there are more manufacturers coming
in now proves that it is a viable alternative out there and that we are doing
the right thing.” Nissan, as a national and international leader in EV
vehicles, looks even stronger as more brands are coming into the EV market.
National Drive Electric Week is a nationwide celebration of
electric vehicle technology and is sponsored by Nissan. The event shows the fun
and convenience of clean-air technology while simultaneously showing the
cost-saving benefits associated with electric vehicles. Activities have been
taking place across the United States, even from states as far away as Hawaii.
