If you’ve been waiting excitedly for the Nissan Leaf all-electric vehicle then $ 99 will put you first in line as soon as it is released. The Nissan Leaf site has been taking reservations for a couple of months, but on April 20, a $ 99 deposit will put you “on the list” when the Leaf is released.
Just what is this Leaf?
The Nissan Leaf is intended to be the first mass-market all-electric vehicle in the United States of America. Given that it can complete with one charge a 100 miles distance, the Leaf should comfortable cover most commutes and errand distances. The Leaf (also known as LEAF – Leading, Environmentally Friendly, Affordable Family car) is set to be available in North America, Japan, and Europe.
How much will the Leaf expense?
In the United States, the Leaf’s Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price will be $ 32,780. With a tax credit, the price should be able to drop to $ 25,280. States also are including vehicle incentives. California and Georgia offer a $ 5,000 tax credit, and Oregon has a $ 1,500 credit. After 200,000 autos are sold, the tax credit will begin ramping down.
Is it possible to charge the Leaf at home?
The Nissan Leaf can charge, based on the station, in as little as 45 minutes. A full charge on a household circuit could take up to 16 hours. Nissan will offer a charging dock installed by AeroVironment, sold at cost, as part of the essential purchase price.
Where is the Leaf available?
The Nissan Leaf could be released first in December of 2010 in “select markets” including California, Washington, Arizona, Tennessee, and Oregon. Charging Stations have been outfitted into major cities and states as well. In order to get in on this first release of the Nissan Leaf, a customer must pay the $ 99 reservation fee online. Approximately 4,700 automobiles will be accessible in this first roll-out. There will be full availability in 2012 but the availability will be increased in Spring of 2011.
