Nissan Leaf EV is Very Affordable!
The Nissan Leaf electric car will cost $32,780 when it rolls into showrooms in December. Add in the federal EV tax credit, and the bottom line is $25,280, a price that makes the Leaf competitive with the Honda Civic and the Toyota Prius.
Nissan announced the price today and said it starts taking reservations for the Leaf electric car April 20. The five-passenger hatchback sports a 23 kilowatt-hour lithium-manganese battery that’s good for a claimed 100 miles and recharges in eight hours.
The Japanese automaker plans to crank out 50,000 Leafs in 2011. With some 85,000 “hand-raisers” expressing interest in getting one, some EV advocates believe Nissan’s priced the car so competitively it could have trouble meeting demand. “I think it’s an excellent price,” said Paul Scott, a founder and board member of the EV advocacy group Plug-In America. “I think Nissan is going to have a hard time keeping them on the showroom floor, especially in states that have additional tax credits.
In California, it’s going to be a hell of a bargain at $20,028. They’ve really nailed it. It’s very, very affordable.” We must note that these prices are for the United States only, and Nissan is offering the Leaf for sale or lease only as a complete package. It is not leasing the battery separately from the car here in the United States, though it might do so elsewhere. The company almost certainly is taking a loss on the Leaf, just as Toyota did with the Prius, in a bid to grab as big a chunk of the market as possible before cars like the Chevrolet Volt and Ford Focus EV appear, Scott said. “They’re probably banking on battery costs coming down,” Scott said. “And they will come down.” MSRP is but one part of the equation. Operating cost is the other variable, and on that score Honda and Toyota should be worried. Nissan’s priced the Leaf cheaper than the Civic and Prius once you’ve figured in energy costs. “Lifecycle ownership costs of the Leaf over five years is $28,180 versus a Civic at $28,338 and the Prius at $29,358,” said Trisha Jung, chief marketing manager for the Leaf. “That’s the cost of the vehicle, the cost of the charging station and the cost of the electricity.”
