\nNissan has begun taking $99 registrations for its all-electric Leaf<\/a>, and the early results are very encouraging. The Japanese automaker has reportedly already received 7,000 pre-orders in the U.S. and another 4,000 orders in Japan. Nissan had been expecting pre-sales of roughly 20,000 vehicles<\/a>, and early pre-sales show that the initial estimates may have undershot reality. Whatcar?<\/em> reports that orders have been so strong that Nissan expects that it won’t be able to fulfill demand for its emissions-free vehicle when it hits dealerships in late Fall. The 11,000 hand-raisers Nissan currently has in the bank doesn’t include any buyers from the UK, as our across the Pond allies aren’t eligible to pre-order the Leaf until July.<\/p>\n

Nissan reportedly claims that its forthcoming EV will be cheaper to buy and run than the king of the hybrid hill, Toyota’s Prius<\/a>. The Leaf will carry an MSRP of $32,780<\/a> (plus $2,200 for the charger) when it goes on sale, which is closer in price to the Lexus HS 250h<\/a> than the Prius, though government tax breaks of $7,500 per all-electric vehicle brings the base price down to a much more manageable $25,280.<\/p>\n
