Reservations for Nissan Leaf opening April 20

nleaf1-240x160If 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 few months, but on April 20, a $ 99 deposit will put you “on the list” when the Leaf is released.

Exactly what possibly is the Leaf?

The Nissan Leaf is supposed to be the first mass-market all-electric vehicle in the United States of America. The Leaf comfortably covers most commute-and-errands distances with the 100 miles on a single charge it can do. The Leaf (also known as LEAF – Leading, Environmentally Friendly, Affordable Family car) is should be available in Japan, North America and Europe.

How much will the Leaf price?

Within the US, it is suggested the Leaf is sold at $ 32,780. With a federal tax credit, the price will drop to about $ 25,280. Other states are also including additional automobile incentives. Georgia and California offers a $ 5,000 tax credit when Oregon has a $ 1,500 tax credit. The tax credit will begin to end slowly after 200,000 cars are sold.

Is the Leaf easy to charge at home?

Based upon on the station, the Leaf can charge in as little as 45 minutes. It could take up to 16 hours to charge on a normal household circuit. Nissan will offer a charging dock installed by AeroVironment, sold at cost, as part of the essential purchase price.

Where can I get the Leaf?

The Nissan Leaf will be released first in December of 2010 in “select markets” including Oregon, California, Washington, Arizona and Tennessee. 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. Around 4,700 automobiles can be accessible in the first roll out. The availability of the Leaf could be increased in Spring of 2011 and full market availability in 2012.
