Here is the link to live premier. http://www.nissan-global.com/EN/NISSANCHANNEL/LIVE/newsroom2.html Pls use this thread to talk about the premier and discuss the news as it unfolds.

So, after a little over 6 years and 2 Leafs, I'll be returning the Leaf I've in a couple of days as the lease gets over. I got a Volt LT lease for $1k down and 190 per month as stop gap till I get Tesla Model 3 - sometime in the next 12 to 24 months. I've been wondering what to buy to replace...

I know there are some posts in the other Leaf 2 thread about this. But this deserves its own thread. http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1107590_nissan-leaf-leases-can-extend-until-all-new-2018-electric-car-late-this-year-breaking Thiis from Brian Maragno, Nissan North America's director of...

Leaf sales continue to flounder. I can think of a few things that Nissan did wrong - 30 kWh model was introduced too late - SV vs S price difference is too much ($5K) - The lease rates were atrociously high in the beginning. It has come down now, though ... And then the outside factors - Bolt...

As you may have read - Tesla set a record with nearly 200,000 reservations since yesterday morning. I'd expected much less than that. I went to my nearest Tesla store around 9:45 AM, expecting to see some 50 or so people. I could see the line extending all the way to the end of the mall. When I...

Kia is readying a CUV counterpart to Hyundai's Ioniq. Likely to be available in Hybrid, Plugin Hybrid and BEV forms. If true, this would be the first BEV CUV in the "affordable" category sold in all states. http://insideevs.com/kia-niro-to-debut-in-chicago-plug-in-hybrid-version-planned/

As expected the Leaf numbers are low. With the high lease prices on '16, the sales won't improve. For the first time Leaf is #4 for the month ! Also, really impressive numbers for i8.

Just in the last week or so, I realized the SOC on my '13 Leaf was going down rather abruptly. So, I used the Leaf apps to track what was happening. The surprise was, the Leaf apps would show higher SOC than what Leaf showed. So, I manually noted SOC and the miles driven. As you can see below...

I've some lease details for '16 Leaf that may be of interest to folks. "$1k down reduces by" number can be used to see how much the payment goes down depending on your down payment. For purchase there is a $3,500 instant rebate along with 0% 72 month financing. Definitely Nissan is pushing...

Nissan says the 2016 Leaf is now on sale in the US. Not sure where it is available. Anyone seen one at a dealership ? http://insideevs.com/2016-nissan-leaf-now-sale-u-s/

With unexpected good sales last month, it is difficult to predict the Oct sales. Atleast for Leaf, we know it will be low.

There is an explosively interesting piece of news that others are reporting (thr’ AP). http://www.seattletimes.com/business/gm-plans-5-5b-in-cost-cuts-to-help-finance-new-mobility/

Low sales continue as we await 2016 Leaf & Volt. Leaf is now just 13.5k YTD compared to 30k in 2014 overall. For Leaf to not follow below 2014 level, 5,500 Leafs need to be sold on the average in Q4. So, we should expect total 2015 sales to be lower than 2014 - first time Leaf sales would...
