If you aren′t already on list purchase 2011 Nissan Leaf, you’re officially out of luck. During speech Detroit Economic Club today, Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn announced that U.S. market allotment for first year’s production of Leafs already sold out more than six months before EV even goes sale. Nissan has now received 13,000 orders for $32,780 electric car – quite impressive for vehicle almost no one’s driven.
So far, orders comprised refundable $99 deposits, so it will interesting see how sales and orders hold up once people begin getting calls from dealers. Prior going sale 2008, Smart ForTwo also received thousands orders before deliveries began – and we all know how well that turned out. While Leaf will undoubtedly much more pleasant and practical car drive than Smart, it remains seen how customers will react once they get used real world electric range.
Ghosn remains extremely bullish electric vehicles will be adding production capacity in both United States Europe over next three years.
