Tesla’s Model S was the world’s best selling plug-in electric vehicle in 2015, with over 50,000 global sales for the calendar year.
The Model S beat out second place Nissan Leaf, with 43,000 sales, and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, with about 39,000 sales.
The numbers mean that Tesla has reached its sales target of 50,000-52,000 and shows a noticeable improvement upon its 31,000 total in 2014.
The sales also place Tesla in second place for cumulative sales, with 107,148 sales since its launch in mid 2012, only trailing the Nissan Leaf, which was launched just under two years earlier.
The biggest market for Tesla is its home country, the US, which made up around 60 per cent of total sales.
