Nissan automobiles turn over a new LEAF, zero-emissions electric car

Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car or LEAF as Nissan calls it is a 5-door hatchback electric car with a range of 160 km on a single charge. Nissan Motors GB Ltd., the Japanese automaker's UK division, announced that dealerships are preparing for the LEAF's arrival. Since the Nissan LEAF is an all-electric car it does not pollute the local air and reduces the need for petroleum.

Dealerships have begun investing in equipment as well as training for the sale and service of the new cars. By 2013 all dealerships should be prepared to sell the electric car. The investment includes installation of quick charge stations, and training of staff to service the vehicles.


The price of purchasing the Nissan LEAF was announced in Japan at ¥3.76 million, US$32,780 in the United States, GB£28,990 in the United Kingdom, and approximately €35,000 in the other three European countries where it will be launched first; these prices include the price of the battery package, and almost all countries have applicable tax incentives or subsidies. With the hope that the Nissan LEAF will become a commercial success, we may see more electric cars in the future.
