Reservations for Nissan Leaf will be opening on April 20

nleaf4-240x180$ 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 possibly is the Leaf?

The Nissan Leaf is to be the first mass-market all electric car 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 vehicle) is set to be accessible in North The United States, Japan, and Europe.

What will the Leaf cost?

In the United States, the Leaf’s Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price could be $ 32,780. With a tax credit, the price should be able to drop to $ 25,280. States also are including car incentives. California and Georgia offer a $ 5,000 tax credit, and Oregon has a $ 1,500 credit. This tax credit does start ramping down after 200,000 cars are sold.

Is the Leaf easy to charge at home?

The Nissan Leaf can charge, based upon 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 purchase price, Nissan will offer a charging dock installed and built by AeroVironment, sold at-cost.

Where can I discover this Leaf?

The Nissan Leaf will be released first in December of 2010 in “select markets” including Oregon, California, Washington, Arizona and Tennessee. Major States and Cities will even have charging stations added into them. 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.
