On the heels of the one-year anniversary of the first delivery of the Leaf on December 11, Nissan announced on Tuesday that it is expanding the availability of its dedicated electric model into new U.S. territories.
Starting from today, Nissan has begun taking orders from the public for the updated 2012 Leaf that retails for $35,200 (not including an $850 destination and handling fee) in the states of Delaware, Indiana, Louisiana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. First deliveries in these new markets will take place next spring.
“Nissan LEAFs have been on the U.S. roads for one year now, and thousands of drivers have become living proof that a 100-percent electric, zero-emissions vehicle fulfills the daily needs of drivers from all walks of life,” said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, NNA. “We are seeing already-strong interest in the LEAF continue to grow across the country. This market expansion brings us one step closer to true, nationwide availability.”
With the latest additions, the Leaf is now available for order in 30 states. Nissan said that nationwide, 50-state ordering would be available by March of 2012.
