$ 99 will put you first in line as soon as it is released if you've been waiting excitedly for the Nissan Leaf all-electric car. The Nissan Leaf site has been taking reservations for a few 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 automobile in the United States of America. With a range of 100 miles on a single charge, the Leaf comfortably covers most commute-and-errands distances. The Nissan Leaf (also known as LEAF – Leading, Environmentally Friendly, Affordable Family automobile) is going to be available in North America, Japan, and Europe.
How much is the leaf designed to cost?
In the US, it is suggested the Leaf is sold at $ 32,780. The price should drop to $ 25,280 with a federal tax credit. Other states are also including extra car 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 start ramping down.
Can I charge the Leaf at home?
The Leaf can charge in as little as 45 minutes based upon on the station. A full charge on a household circuit could take up to 16 hours. Nissan will offer a charging dock installed by AeroVironment, sold at expense, as part of the basic purchase price.
Where can I get the Leaf?
The Nissan Leaf can be released first in December of 2010 in “select markets” including California, Washington, Arizona, Tennessee, and Oregon. Charging Stations are 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. Within the first roll-out, approximately 4,700 cars can be available. There will be full availability in 2012 but the availability will be increased in Spring of 2011.
