Nissan to begin retail sales of Leaf EV next year in five major U.S. markets

by Administrator 7. August 2009 08:38

Nissan is wasting little time planning for the release of its Leaf electric car. Perhaps the details of the car's U.S. launch were so slim at launch is because Nissan was waiting for the official announcement of the Obama administration's $2.4 billion investment into electric vehicles and the infrastructure needed to support them, $99.8 million of which has been awarded to eTec, a division of ECOtality that specializes in electric vehicle charging systems.

That sum of money (to be matched by "regional project participants") will allow eTec to install 2,500 EV charging stations in the states of Tennessee and Oregon, along with San Diego, CA; Seattle, WA; and the Phoenix/Tucson region in Arizona. Of course, chargers aren't any good without any vehicles to use them, so Nissan has pledged to support the project with up to 1,000 new Leaf EVs in each of these selected markets.

This announcement puts retail sales of the upcoming Leaf two years ahead of the previously planned schedule. Nissan hopes to gather information on the charging patterns of these initial 5,000 Leaf owners, so buyers will need to agree to carry an on-board data logger that will be monitored by the automaker and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Electric Car, that was a very nice car to have. But i have comment on the design . The rear end really very nice but when I a look on the front site the hood, it looks funny. Surely, the Electric thing will sell, but even if it is electric it might not sell at all because of the funky look.

It is cool to hear that Nissan to begin retail sales of Leaf EV next year in five major U.S. markets. I am sure they will be facing some issues as far as US market is hit by economics crisis during these days. However, if they can implement the best marketing strategy, they can get success.

You lost me, friend. I mean, I suppose I get what youre declaring. I recognize what you are saying, but you just appear to have forgotten that you'll find some other individuals within the world who view this issue for what it genuinely is and may possibly not agree with you. You may perhaps be turning away alot of persons who may have been lovers of your blog site.

So it is very important to have clear instructions for the central system that is being taught. If it is an eBook, expect some screenshots so that you can see examples. You may be lucky and have something that includes video training. This is probably the best way to learn, assuming you are able to follow the narrative. People who have English as a second language may find a written book easier to understand. You can actually pause the video while you go copy the step exactly, then click on play when you are ready to continue.

I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your thoughts? I mean, what you say is important and everything. But its got no punch, no pop! Maybe if you added a pic or two, a video? You could have such a more powerful blog if you let people SEE what youre talking about instead of just reading it.

Congratulations on having one of the most sophisticated blogs Ive come across in some time! Its just incredible how much you can take away from something simply because of how visually beautiful it is. Youve put together a great blog space --great graphics, videos, layout. This is definitely a must-see blog!

Thank you for this article, It's great to see another BlogEngine user. Most people these days seem to use Wordpress, but I think BlogEngine is the best system to use.
