Be the first to see the Nissan LEAF in person. An invitation was sent out a few weeks ago to see the Nissan LEAF Zero Emission Tour in Southern California in November. The tour will begin in Southern California on November 13, 2009 and end in New York City on February 14, 2010. In case if you already missed the Southern California invitation, you can sign up here. If you sign up for the RSVP, you will get a bag of goodies at the show.
The Nissan LEAF is the first 100% electric, zero emission, green car that will be produced by Nissan, and will be available in the near end of 2010. Just in case if you are interested in the specs of this green car, here they are:

uhhhhhh, electic cars are the future inkow, my question is why in the world do you have to make them look so dam ugly, why not just make the drive train optional on your line of cars, imagine an electric 350z, we all know electric cars can out run a gas cars, look i love electric car revolution, but please put a little more though into the look of the car,
My laptop uses a Lithiom Ion battery. The battery was rated for 8 hrs normal use on one charge. A year later it lasts only 45 minutes before needing to be charged. My point is, if you’re buying an electric car, be prepared to hitchhike.
You can’t ‘buy’ itt.
Just like the SATURN EV1 the Nissan assholes will only lease it to you.
this makes sense now that usa are switching most of their electric generation to natural gas and nuclear power. eliminating coal and nat gas is step unto its self. but natural gas is much more US provided so it helps the economy.
@realm313 mine has gone from 8 hrs to 3 seconds in a year
Sorry folks the oil companies are still suppressing any competition , they bought the NIMH battery back in 2002 and sued toyota for putting it in there rav 4 , they now sell for more used then they did new , have you noticed all of these electric car companies miss there release date over and over , I like how they said on the FAQ section of the volt the car uses a lithium battery unlike the older battery used on the ev 1 that had a range of over 100 miles on all electricity , oil is evil .
