This 4-door hatchback is priced at $33,000 before tax and other benefits. Nissan expects to sell around 50,000 units in the first year itself. This car can travel up to 100 miles on a single charge. Nissan also recommends installing a charging station at home, provided by Aerovironment which will cost $2,200 before tax benefits. After deduction of tax and other benefits the car has effective price of around $25,000 which is mid-level considering the US car market and much better than the competition. Taking into account the battery degradation, after a period of 10 years the car would only be able to cover 70 to 80 miles on a single charge instead of 100. However, with appropriate warranty for the battery and pricing of spares the Leaf could move on to becoming a big hit with consumers resulting in saving of millions of litres of fuels and reducing carbon emissions by thousands of tonnes. <\/p>\n<p>To provide further support, Nissan is in talks with Municpal corporations to set up public charging points at parking garages and office parks.<br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/news.cnet.com\/8301-11128_3-20001408-54.html\">cnet<\/a>]  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nissan plans to start taking orders for its all-electric Leaf, in US from April 20th.
