Nissan will launch the zero-emission electric car in late 2010, saying its price will be "very competitive", with intent to carve a niche away from "hybrid" cars of today.
The Leaf, described by Nissan as "the world's first affordable, zero-emission car," can travel more than 160 kilometres on a single charge, at a top speed of 140 kilometres per hour, the company said.
"The monthly cost of the battery, plus the electric charge, will be less than the cost of gasoline," said Carlos Ghosn, chief executive of Nissan.
Initial launch is for Japan, US, and Europe but there are plans to implement charging stations in "Israel, Portugal and Singapore as well as local communities in Japan and the US to set up electric recharging stations"
