Development of World Car: Nissan Leaf Electric Car For Sale

The 2011 Nissan Leaf all-electric four-door hatchback will have a base price of $32,780, a sum that federal tax credits reduce to just over $25,000, the automaker announced today.
Further tax credits are available from a few states, and others are considering their own incentives for purchasing electric cars.
When the 2011 Leaf when goes on sale later this year, this price will be competitive with the gas-electric Toyota Prius -- a car that minimizes but does not eliminate gas consumption. The Prius has a base price of $22,000.
The Leaf's price also compares favorably to the 2011 Chevrolet Volt, a plug-in hybrid that can travel 40 miles on an electric charge before a gas-powered generator kicks in to recharge the battery. The Volt is expected to cost $40,000, or $32,500 after the federal tax credit.
