Reservations For Nissan Leaf Will Be Opening On April 20
If you happen to be one of the people who has been waiting patiently for the Nissan Leaf all-electric vehicle, then only $ 99 would put you in line to get it as soon as it is released. Reservations have been taken by the Nissan Leaf website for a few months, but on April 20, only a $ 99 deposit will put you onto the list for when the Leaf is released.
What is the Leaf?
The Nissan Leaf is to be the first mass-market all electric vehicle in the US. Since 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 should be available in Japan, North America and Europe.
What will the Leaf cost?
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. Oregon has a $ 1,500 credit while California and Georgia offers a $ 5,000 tax credit. This tax credit does begin ramping down after 200,000 vehicles are sold.
Is the Leaf easy to charge at home?
The Nissan Leaf can charge, depending on the station, in as little as 45 minutes. Charging it on a household circuit might take up to 16 hours. As a part of the basic price, Nissan plans to offer a charging dock built by AeroVironment and sold at-cost.
Where is the Leaf available?
The Nissan Leaf will 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. Around 4,700 vehicles will be available in the first roll out. By Spring of 2011, the availability of the Leaf will be “increased,” and full market availability in 2012.
