The Nissan Leaf, the world’s first mass-market electric car, will offer important environmental advantages over conservative vehicles, but is to cost £28,350 when it goes on sale in Britain untimely after that year – £10,000 more than a similarly-sized clean diesel such as the VW Golf Bluemotion.
If the government honors its commitment to offer £5,000 grants for electric cars from January 2011, the price of the Leaf will drop to £23,350, but there will be no battery leasing scheme to spread the price of ownership.
The Nissan Leaf will use no more than a few pence value of electricity per mile and servicing costs are predictable to be 15% lower than for a similarly-sized petrol or diesel car, but reduction costs are not yet known.
A spokesperson for the Environmental Transport Association (ETA) said: If one’s only criterion when buying a car is price, then cutting-edge green technology is bound to seem costly. Thankfully there will be customers today eager to invest in vehicles like the Nissan Leaf so that its technology can become prevalent.
