The Leaf will cost USD $25,280 with a $7,500 federal rebate. State incentives could drive the price even lower as California has a $5,000 dollar rebate on top of the federal one. Should your Leaf run out of juice it has 3 years of roadside assistance built in as well, do they charge you up or pull you away ?
Should you not want to own your Leaf, you can also lease for around $350 dollars per month. Nissan is quoting around $3 dollars for 100 miles of transport.
The Leaf comes standard with an advanced nav system that is linked to your smart phone so you can tell it when to charge when it's plugged in, as well as tell you where charging stations are. LED headlamps keep the energy draw down and intelligent key with push start button give the car a up-market feel. The SL trim level, available for an additional $940 (MSRP), adds features including rearview monitor, solar panel spoiler, fog lights, and automatic headlights.
As for home charging, Nissan has this to say:
Charging Equipment

- The average cost for the charging dock plus installation will be $2,200.
- Charging dock and installation are eligible for a 50 percent federal tax credit up to $2,000.
- Using current national electricity averages, Nissan LEAF will cost less than $3 to “fill up.”
