    Nissan Leaf

    Nissan will be selling an honest-to-goodness electric car at the end of this year, and I'm excited.

    My wife and I saw it on display at the Mill Avenue New Year's Eve block party and it's very impressive.  Blog speculation puts the price around $25,000, not including the battery pack, which will be leased.  This may be a smart way to go, I'm not sure.  If they included the true cost of the battery, the sticker would probably go up to at least $35,000, which is way more than most people would pay for a compact hatchback with a 100 mile range.  It won't be as fast as a Tesla Roadster, but it will seat 5 people and costs a bit less than $109,000!

    Here's an AZ Republic article with some good info about charging stations and the local businesses that will be installing them.

     They wouldn't let the rifraff get too close...

     I love the dash...

      The Nissan Leaf was an exceptionally awesome car. The technology used in it was marvelous and most companies are still picking on it to produce more energy efficient cars.
