I think you could buy it from out of state right now. Speaking roughly, there's $4k CO credit, $7.5k federal credit, $3k Nissan instant rebate, and maybe $1.5k from Nissan for loyalty to the brand and the student/veteran/etc discount. There was obviously a bit of fudging going on. So, on a $35.5k MSRP car, the "out the door" price is $27.5k and you claim the federal credit yourself on your 2020 return.
I'm coming up on one year of owning my 2018 40 kwh. And I was able to snag a sweet deal between incentives and dealer discount. I noticed my current dealer once again has 4 leftovers (2019s this time of course) sitting on the lot. Assuming they are still there in May, I'd expect someone could once again talk them down 10k before any gov incentives or rebates.LeftieBiker wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 6:09 pmThat makes sense, as the 40kwh Leaf, even with charging and degradation issues aside, is more a niche (short to medium range commuter) car.

I really do wish I could take my leaf on actual trips but I knew it would be an in-town only car. Next one (whatever brand) hopefully can push further out.
I'm in the 40 kwh model and there are no quick charge locations where I live. I knew that going in, so it was always meant as in town car.dmacarthur wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 8:58 amdanrjones wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 7:24 amI'm coming up on one year of owning my 2018 40 kwh.

We have a Leaf Plus which we have done some travelling in, you just need to be aware of quick charge locations and make sure each one is near a coffee and sandwich shop, it has been kinda fun actually. More time in bookstores and wandering the downtown sections of small cities than ever before....
I don't think they were specifically asking about EV rebates. I think they were asking about Nissan's regional rebates. I know with Toyota, you don't have to be from that region to get their regional rebate. My region had $0 rebate, while the NE had a $4500 rebate and I was able to get the rebate by buying out of state. I think with Nissan, you have to live in the region to get the regional rebate, right?LeftieBiker wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 1:02 pmMost EV rebates are dependent on the location of your legal residence.
