Nissan Motor Co., the top-seller of electric cars in the U.S., is lifting the price of the battery-powered Leaf as much as 10 percent and expanding sales to nine more states, mostly in the South.
A 2012 SV grade Leaf will cost $35,200, or 7.4 percent more than the 2011 SV’s $32,780 price, while the 2012 SL version rises to $37,250 from $33,720, Nissan said in a statement today. The increase covers new standard equipment, said Brendan Jones, Nissan’s U.S. sales manager for Leaf.
