31 03 2010 - Nissan Leaf end of this year on the US markets with $7500 tax credit

The Nissan Leaf, set to be released in select US markets by the end of this year, will be priced at around $25,000 after a $7,500 federal tax credit. This will be about $7,500 less than the Chevy Volt after tax credits, which will be released about a month beforehand.  In the upcoming weeks, people will be able to make refundable $100 dollar deposits on the Leaf.  So far there has been an overwhelming interest in this compact four door hatchback with a 100 mile electric range.  Nationwide availability will begin in 2011.  Nissan sounds pretty serious about an electric future, very near.(wr)
