Electric hybrids have come a
Electric hybrids have come a long way and so have the all electric vehicles. The biggest problem with the Leaf today is the high cost of importing it. The price of the vehicle is expected to drop soon with the 2013 Leaf produced in Smyrna. That expected price drop has to hurt 2012 Nissan Leaf sales now and gives the Volt some of its advantage. To avoid hurting Leaf sales further, Nissan has not announced the price or new improvements for the 2013 Leaf. The new Leaf will be in production in one month, so these can't be kept a secret much longer. I would expect the Leaf sales figures to jump when the improved model made in the USA comes out at a lower price. It will be interesting to see the GM Volt response. This should all be good for those interested in these new vehicles next year.
