The all-electric Nissan Leaf<\/a> will start at $32,780\u2014or less, depending on tax rebates. Eligible buyers could earn a $7500 federal tax credit for buying an eco-friendly vehicle, so Nissan says a Leaf could effectively cost as little as $25,280. Certain states offer additional tax incentives: California has a $5000 rebate, Georgia offers a $5000 tax credit, and Oregon will offer a $1500 tax credit.<\/p>\n

Nissan will also offer a 36-month lease for $349 per month, after a $1650 down payment and $595 acquisition fee. We figure that\u2019s a total cost of $14,460 over the three-year period. The lease offer assumes that Nissan offers a $7500 incentive in lieu of the federal tax credit.<\/p>\n

We now know the Leaf will be offered in two trims: SV as standard and SL for an extra $940. The SV trim includes stability control, six airbags, navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, satellite radio, and three years of roadside assistance. The SL trim adds a rearview camera, solar-panel rear spoiler, fog lights, and automatic headlights.<\/p>\n

Nissan will begin taking reservations for the Leaf on April 20. Buyers interested must pay a refundable $99 reservation fee starting April 20. In August, Nissan will begin taking actual orders, starting with customers who\u2019ve reserved a spot in line. The Leaf will be made available in certain markets this December, with national roll-out by 2011.<\/p>\n

On top of the purchase price, Nissan estimates that installing a 220-volt home charging system will cost an average of $2200, although federal tax rebates could repay up to half of that cost. The upshot is that fully charging the Leaf is reported to use just $3 worth of electricity.<\/p>\n
