Woohoo! Finally the time has come! What does everyone think? Is the pricing where they had hoped it would be?

Welcome Javan. Yes, I'm excited the Nissan Leaf will be here soon! Are you planning on buying one? Does it depend on the price? Where are you located, and do you just have a short commute or a long commute?

I sort of agree TOkyoTony. People that are looking at buying the Nissan Leaf, and people that are on this forum, are generally all of the same mindset. They want an electric vehicle for lots of reasons, and it's definitely partly because of the novelty/experience of it! However, once electric...

Yep, I agree, looks good! I'm getting more and more excited as the Nissan Leaf is getting closer and closer........c'mon already!

I guess that answers my question about whether or not you could have a second battery pack charging at home or along your route... In Israel there is a subscription service called 'Better Place' where you can pull into the station and swap out batteries for charged up fresh ones. Better Place...

How many times have you run out of gas in your car? It's funny how aware you are of that.... why would plugging in be any different? I think that's a better comparison than plugging in the Leaf is like plugging in a cell phone.

what a mistake... http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/1035/Revealed-2011-Nissan-Leaf-Electric-Car "But the real trick is that the batteries won't be part of the selling price: Nissan's global approach will be to sell the car, but lease the battery pack. The argument for...

I think it's great that Nissan is going ahead with putting their efforts into an all electric car like the Leaf. People have been concerned for years about the dwindling supply of oil (and therefore the skyrocketing prices), but no one has seemed willing to do the leg work to make an...
