There are two huge debuts this year for green autos, one being the Chevy Volt, and the other is the Nissan Leaf. There is a big difference between the two. The Volt is a hybrid, however the Leaf is all electric. The Leaf can be available soon. By the end of 2010, the automobile can be accessible at dealerships. The advance orders that Nissan offered for the Leaf are already maxed out, months ahead of schedule. However, it would only have been available in five states.
Nissan Leaf is sold like hotcakes
The Nissan Leaf has been hotly envisioned, as the very first all-electric automobile from a major automaker. Nearly each and every other green car that is offered is a hybrid, such as the Toyota Motors Prius or Honda Insight. According to the New York Times, Nissan offered customers the chance to reserve a vehicle in advance. That was in April. The idea was that word of mouth would spread and the reservations would be full by December, when the car is launched to dealerships. That probably will not be needed, as 20,000 of the cars are already reserved. That is quite a result for Nissan. The goal is realized three months ahead of schedule.
Not a leaf of the imagination
The intent was to get 20,000 orders in by spreading word of mouth with demonstrations. Nissan is presently touring with a demonstration Leaf or two around the country, but at this point it seems almost unnecessary. You will find already 20,000 reservations, and the vehicle comes out in December. Initially, the Leaf can be accessible only in Washington state, Oregon, California, Arizona, and Tennessee. . Then the Leaf will spread like a virus to everywhere else. It will be available nationwide by the end of 2011.
So why leaf it at that
There is no use in denying it. Hybrids and electric cars are what can be the way from the future. The supply of oil on the Earth will eventually run out. Eventually, cars like the Leaf will be the rule, and not the exception.
