As I write this, I don't want you to think that this website is only going to be about electric cars, because I have already done a post on this subject. But I wanted to write about the Nissan Leaf. It will be coming to Canada in 2011 and I for one can't be more excited. Let's take a look at the facts. The Leaf can go 160km on a single charge. Looks and feels like a gas powered car. But it does not have a tailpipe, no transmission, no timing belt etc. The idea of not having to go to the gas station or ever have an oil change again is really exciting. They have not announced a price yet for Canada, but if we go by US prices it's going to have a MSRP of $32,000. In Ontario there is a rebate of $8,500 dollars. So that drops the price down to $23,500. So you don't have to be a celebrity to own this car. It will be fun to see how this plays out in the coming year.
