Nissan has announced it will begin taking orders for its zero-emission Leaf electric vehicle on April 20. The initial round of reservation will be available to the 115,000 individuals that have already expressed interest in the Leaf, with reservations scheduled to open up to the general public on May 15.
“Early interest in the Nissan Leaf has been highly encouraging,” said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, sales & marketing, Nissan North America. “People from across the country have raised their hands to be among the first to drive home a Nissan LEAF. Consumers are pledging broad support for the first affordable electric vehicle for the mass market.”
Nissan says more than 115,000 people have already signed up for more information about the Leaf at NissanUSA.com.
Interested buyers will be required to place a $99 reservation fee via credit card, although that money is fully refundable. The Leaf will carry an MSRP of $32,780, although the EV’s final price will be $25,280 after a $7,500 tax rebate. The Leaf will also be available for a 36-month lease, running $349 per month with an initial payment of $1,999.
