Nissan LEAF makes Canadian debut in Vancouver - December 14, 2009
The Nissan LEAF made its Canadian debut in Vancouver on December 14 as part of the Nissan LEAF Zero Emission tour. In October, Nissan Canada, the Province, the City of Vancouver and BC Hydro signed a partnership that will see BC become the initial Canadian launch point for the Nissan LEAF in 2011.
"We look forward to Nissan LEAF electric vehicles arriving in Vancouver as soon as possible, to help move us closer to our goal of becoming the world’s greenest city by 2020,” said Mayor Gregor Robertson. “We’re moving quickly on our electric vehicle plug-in requirements and will be ready when electric vehicles like the LEAF hit the streets of Vancouver. As energy prices rebound, we know that there is going to be increasing demand for EV technology, and we’re proud to be partnering with Nissan to debut the LEAF.”
The LEAF seats five adults in stylish comfort and can travel a distance of 160 kilometres* on a single charge.
