I must say that with 125 orders confirmed and still counting, We are on pace to deliver over 200 leafs this year (6 delivered so far and one more before the end of the month. The bulk of our orders to deliver by July). When Nissan starts Assembly here in the U.S, I would bet on 100,000 units in the first year of full production.

Status update on our Leaf: 78 test drives averaging 20 minutes, and a somewhat irregular charging (got to keep it charged to accommodate , it is still averaging right about 5 miles/kwh (106 miles per charge) and this is with ECO mode barely ever used. By far the most fun car I have driven in a long time.

How's that sales rate compare to some of your other Nissan models?

It would right up there. We sell an average of 700 new Nissans per year. This year, the leaf should hit an easy 20% of the total volume. Keep in mind that there are dealers that sell More than we do but have less than half of the Leaf orders that we do.

Nice - 20% of your total volume is great!
