Nissan plans to expand the availability of the Nissan Leaf EV as the 2012 model year arrives. For 2012, the Leaf will also receive a host of upgrades based on feedback from the thousands of owners who already have driven several millions of miles in the first 100-percent electric car for the mass market.
The Leaf, featuring additional standard equipment including quick charging and cold-weather features for the 2012 model year, now will be available for order in the Southeastern United States and Illinois.
Consumers residing in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Washington, D.C., will be able to begin placing orders for the Leaf on July 25. Expected delivery of the first 2012 Nissan Leafs will begin in the fall.
DC Fast Charge capability will be standard on the 2012 Leaf, allowing owners to charge their vehicles in about 30 minutes from a fully depleted state. The Leaf's cold weather features include a battery warmer, heated steering wheel, and heated seats in both the front and rear.
Pricing for the 2012 Nissan Leaf will begin from ,200 for the SV trim level, and ,250 for the SL trim level. The monthly lease price will begin at a highly competitive 9.
"Many enthusiastic consumers have eagerly anticipated ordering a Nissan LEAF of their own, and now we can make zero-emissions mobility a reality in more markets," said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America. "In response to direct feedback from Nissan LEAF owners, the features that customers want most will come standard on the 2012 Nissan LEAF – including quick charging and cold-weather features."
