$5,000 Lease Buyout Credit Offered for 2012 & 2013 Nissan Leaf EVs

Nissan's Leaf evolution on the American EV market has a lot to do with the way the Japanese company does business and addresses its customers, actions that in the end, helps expand the green trend to more potential buyers.

Leaf's green 'rap sheet' in the United States goes a bit like this: in March 2015, sales reached the 75,000 milestone. Nevertheless, the starting price tag of $22,000 after the available maximum $7,000 federal tax credit had a lot to do with it.

Also, Nissan has been looking at certain ways that would help Nissan owners to charge their cars at work. In this respect, Nissan and Georgia Power have agreed on funding a new partnership that enables local employers to receive a $1,000 rebate for each 240V Level 2 charger installed, split in half. That is $500 from Georgia Power and $500 from Nissan.

Now, the company is offering generous payout incentives on 2012 and 2013 leased Nissan Leaf models. You see, powertrain does not count that much when owners reach the end of their leases. Moreover, they must make a decision: trade the car for a new model or buy it out and keep it.

To help them go for the latter, the Leaf Gross Payoff is estimated at $5,000 for 2012 and 2013 models. Also, the owners of 2011MY Leafs receive a smaller discount, of $1,500, according to Green Car Reports.

In other news, the upcoming Nissan Leaf will arrive next year as a 2017 model. We should expect a boost in maximum range, given the fact that the Chevy Bolt EV is rumored to offer 200 miles of all-electric riding on a single full battery charge.
