I'm hoping to buy in the next couple of weeks. My credit union offers a 0.5% discount if the car is on the EPA SmartWay Elite list.

Obviously the Leaf will be on that list eventually, but my CU won't honor the discount unless it is officially on that list. I've tried via e-mail and phone to reach someone associated with that list to see if/when it would be updated but I've been unsuccessful.
Any ideas? My CU rate is still excellent at 3.25% for 60 months, but it seems ridiculous that I can't take advantage of this discount when buying a car much "greener" than the few currently on that list.
