Nissan extends LEAF's battery warranty to 8 years or 100,000 miles

Consumers who placed reservations for the Nissan LEAF now know when they will get their world's first all-electric, zero-emission vehicle.

Nissan LEAF will be first available to consumers in December, in California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona and Tennessee. These areas are home to The EV Project, the largest electric vehicle and infrastructure deployment ever undertaken. And Nissan adds that more than 55 percent of 17,000 reservations are located in those initial launch markets. The vehicle should be available in Canada by the end of 2011.

Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America says: "We are pleased to see so many people making a choice for a zero-emission future by placing reservations for the Nissan LEAF. Consumer feedback and market readiness have been key drivers in developing our phased rollout."

Nissan North America is also informing its consumers that the lithium- ion battery pack that powers the Nissan LEAF will carry a warranty of 8 years or 100,000 miles to match U.S. market competitive conditions. This warranty's announcement arrives at the same time GM unveils the pricing for its electric vehicle Volt. A clear sign that the two automakers are starting a battle to introduce their electric vehicles by the end of the year.

The electric Nissan LEAF should be able to travel up to 100 miles on battery power, while the Volt would get up to 40 miles on battery power only. The GM Volt has a gasoline engine to add an extra 300 miles.

Nissan is dedicated to improving the environment under the Nissan Green Program 2010, whose key priorities are reducing CO2 emissions, cutting other emissions and increasing recycling.
