Published Mar 30, 2010
FRANKLIN, Tennessee — Nissan released full details today on pricing and equipment options for its 2011 Nissan Leaf electric car. Available as a traditional purchase or three-year lease, the Leaf will be priced at $32,780 without delivery fees, which have not yet been announced.

But the Leaf's starting MSRP is before the federal tax credit, which could bring the price down $7,500, to $25,280. Plus, certain states are eligible for additional credits. Of course, buyers will need to consider the cost of installing a home charging dock, which Nissan estimates will cost $2,200 before a 50-percent tax credit.
Leasing a 2011 Leaf will require a $1,999 down payment, plus $349 per month, prior to the cost of the charging dock. As the lessor and therefore actual owner of the Leaf, Nissan receives the applicable tax credits, factoring the savings into the customer's monthly payments.
Available in two trim levels, standard SV and uplevel SL, all Leaf SVs will come with navigation, remote start and remote charging operated through a smart phone app or laptop computer, LED headlamps, Bluetooth, Intelligent Key, vehicle dynamic control, traction control, six airbags, XM Satellite Radio and 3 years roadside assistance.
For an additional $940, the SL trim adds a rearview camera, solar panel spoiler which provides a trickle charge, cargo cover, auto headlamps and foglights.
Nissan says more than 80,000 "hand-raisers" have already registered on the Leaf's dedicated Web site to show interest in the electric car. On April 20, all registrees will have three weeks to make a purchase reservation for a refundable $99 fee. On May 15, Nissan will open up the purchase reservation process to the general public.
Leafs are expected to begin arriving in dealerships in December. Nissan says it currently has a global capacity to build 50,000 units for the first two years, with plans to increase production substantially in 2013.
