In spite of all the recalls being issued and negative press regarding certain other Japanese automakers, Nissan is charging ahead with their innovative 2011 Leaf and plans to start taking orders by August 2010. While electric cars are nothing new, the Leaf, according to Nissan, is the first all-electric vehicle designed for the mass market.
When you consider that all previous electric models have only been available for lease, the fact that Nissan plans to make the Leaf available for purchase shows the company’s faith in all-electric technology. More than 50,000 potential customers have already signed up for the latest updates on the Leaf on Nissan’s new website, so you can expect those slots on the waiting list to fill up fairly quick.
Nissan says the first Leaf models could be delivered as early as December 2010 in select North American markets, so seeing the Leaf (in production form) on the road isn’t too far away. Pricing for the Leaf will be announced in April and an official waiting list will be set up shortly after where you can put down a fully-refundable $100 reservation fee for your own all-electric, zero-emission 2011 Nissan Leaf. Sign up here to keep up with all the details on the Leaf’s upcoming release.
