We’ve all been waiting to hear what exactly Nissan has meant by “competitively priced” when describing the LEAF.\u00a0 Well, now we know.\u00a0 The all-electric sedan will have a sticker price of $32,780, slightly more than expected, but still pretty cheap for an EV.<\/p>\n
At that price, the LEAF<\/a> is a good $10,000 more expensive than gas-fueled sedan models like the Honda Civic, Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima, but cheaper than announced prices for EV models like the Mitsubishi i-MiEV<\/a>, Coda Automotive’s sedan and far below the nearly $60,000 Tesla Model S<\/a>.\u00a0 Plug In America<\/a> calls the price a “game changer” and I’d have to agree.<\/p>\n Not convinced?\u00a0 Here’s more to consider.\u00a0 The price includes the installation of a home charging station, it will be available for lease for $349 a month (not too shabby when you compare it to the mortgage-sized lease payment for the Tesla Roadster<\/a>) and once you apply federal tax credits, you’re actually looking at a $25,280 car.\u00a0 If you live in a state like California that’s offering an additional $5,000 rebate, that price drops to $20,280.<\/p>\n Now you’re in the territory of a base model Toyota Prius.\u00a0 The cost of a hybrid, but it’s all electric.\u00a0 I have a feeling there are people at GM right now recrunching the numbers for the Chevy Volt.<\/p>\n via Nissan<\/a> and Earth2Tech<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n We’ve all been waiting to hear what exactly Nissan has meant by “competitively priced” when describing the LEAF.\u00a0 Well, now we know.\u00a0 The all-electric sedan will have a sticker price of $32,780, slightly more than expected, but still pretty cheap for an EV.
