Nissan to Sell Approximately Half Can Expect From the Available
Of the 20,000 sheets assigned to the U.S. Nissan in 2011, some 10,000 to 12,000 is expected to be sold, said Al Castignetti, Nissan division sales vice president.
While a sale by the rate of 50 percent or so is nothing to brag about, there are some unconventional methods to sell the only all-electric vehicle that can help explain the sales figures.
Sheets are sold through an online reservation process on the one hand, and Nissan closes the system last September after vehiclesthe allocation of all the vehicles had been claimed by a deposit of $ 99.
However, according to Automotive News, only 46% of the reserves has led the retail deliveries, at least in part because some of the reservations were made by people living outside the seven states where the vehicle is available .
In addition, customers of the blade is required to install a home charging station, which can cost thousands of dollars, even after tax credits applicable.
Despite this, Nissan will allocate another 20,000 vehicles from Japan for the year 2012, and has reopened the reservation system for 2011 models.
Mass production of the leaf, and the change of vehicle manufacturing in the U.S. to the U.S., is expected in 2013.
