Nissan Leaf exceed 10,000 in US
"Nissan is boosting Leaf output each month. Based on orders and hand-raisers, Nissan expects to end 2011 with sales of its electric hatch exceeding 10,000 units in the U.S. Of course, that number doesn't include Leaf sales in Japan, the UK, Ireland and so on.
Nissan officially introduced the Leaf in a ceremony held at its global headquarters in Yokohama on December 3, 2010. The first U.S. customer delivery took place in Northern California on December 11, 2010 and the first delivery in Japan took place at the Kanagawa Prefecture on December 22. Deliveries to individual customers began in Ireland in February 2011 and in the U.K. in March.
Deliveries to corporate customers began in Portugal in December 2010 and sales to individuals are expected to begin in early 2011. Sales are scheduled to begin in the Netherlands in June 2011, with global market availability planned for 2012. By mid April 2011, a total of 5,300 units have been delivered in Japan, the U.S. and Europe.
The Leaf has received awards from multiple organizations. Notable awards include the inclusion byTime magazine as one of the 50 best inventions of 2009. At the 2010 Washington Auto Show, the Leaf was given the 2010 Green Car Vision Award by the Green Car Journal (GCJ), who noted that the Leaf "will provide the features, the styling, and the driving experience that will meet the needs of a sophisticated and demanding market, while producing zero localized emissions and requiring no petroleum fuels." Popular Mechanics, upon awarding the Leaf its 2010 Breakthrough Award, explained that the Nissan Leaf is "not the first pure EV, but hits the mainstream like none of its predecessors." Popular Mechanics also alluded to the Leaf's 160 kilometres (100 mi) range, which is said to be "enough for most commuters for the price of an average vehicle – and with a much lower operating cost than gasoline-powered vehicles."
