Nissan LEAF available in China after October 1st

[mwalsh]

As well as a producing electric vehicles with Chinese partner Dongfeng, it looks like Nissan is also going to import the LEAF into China. This article says it's going to be after the holiday on October 1st, and that the price is going to be around 200,000 Yuan Renminbi (~$32k). Though note that commenter "Mark", who appears to have some insight on the local market, reckons that the price will be closer to 300,000 Yuan Renminbi (around $47k).

I've never been to China. Wonder what the electric infrastructure is like in being able to support home charging, and what their plans are for public charging infrastructure.
