Nissan Leaf nearly sold before it's released

The Nissan Leaf is nearly sold out already

The Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt are the hot automobile releases this year. The Leaf is the more exciting from the two, as it is an all electric car. The Leaf can be accessible for sale at dealerships by the end of 2010. Nissan, like Toyota does for the Prius, started taking advance purchases. However, the advance orders are already maxed out. That all being said, the Leaf is only being launched in five states initially. Article source – Nissan Leaf almost sold out it debuts by Car Deal Expert.

First run almost all spoken for

The Nissan Leaf is kind of a large deal. It is the very first totally electric auto from a major automaker. There isn’t a direct competitor for it at all. According to the New York Times, Nissan offered customers the chance to reserve a car in advance. That was in April. Nissan had announced the initial goal was to get 20,000 reservations booked by the end from the year, after releasing a test fleet that might be shown off. However, all 20,000 reservation slots have already been booked. That shows the opportunity for electric cars, as Nissan has met its goal three months faster than envisioned or hoped for.

Leaf absolutely nothing close to risk

The intent was to get 20,000 orders in by spreading word of mouth with demonstrations. Nissan is already touring with a demonstration Leaf or two around the country, however at this point it seems nearly unnecessary. There are already 20,000 reservations, and the vehicle comes available in December. Initially, the Leaf can be available only in Washington state, Oregon, California, Arizona, and Tennessee. In January 2011, Texas and Hawaii will get shipments of the automobile. By the end of 2011, the Leaf can be available everywhere.

So why leaf it at that

There is no use in denying it. Hybrids and electric cars are what will be the way from the future. It is likely that one day, there can be no more crude oil. As more customers wish to decrease gas consumption and emissions, the time will come when electric cars become the rule, instead of the exception.
