Depending on your state’s tax credits, combined with the feds, you may be able to purchase a Leaf for around $18,800. This is for the lowest model, the “S”. The higher-end models, the SV and SL, also saw price drops – although less significant. The SV dropped 10 percent to $31,820 and the SL dropped 6 percent to $34,840.
The most impressive and optimistic factor here? The prices are being dropped not because of new Federal tax incentives, not because of outsourcing but because the economics allow the prices to drop. IE: the market has sustained these vehicles to a point that manufacturing costs have dropped. Bummer for people who rushed out and bought the $35,200 “first edition”. Hats off to those folks who paved the way for the rest of us.
Shortly after Nissan’s announcement, the manufacturer of the Leaf’s only major competitor, GM, announced a similar price reduction in their “electric” Volt. For those unfamiliar, the volt can run on electricity for a period of time, then kick into gas mode for extended distance. Depending on your driving pattern, this is the next best thing for someone wanting an all-electric ride that also needs a longer driving range.
GM did not announce the exact price cut, but promised “thousands” off the original price. In a clear attempt to not be outdone by Nissan, GM followed suit. We have yet to see the exact price, suggesting GM was caught off guard and needs to crunch the numbers. They indicate advances in battery technology and electric motor designs are allowing them to sharpen the pencil on the price.
What’s driving this price change? I’m no economist (read: D+ in macro economics in college), but US electric and hybrid sales rose 73 percent in 2012. According to http://cleantechnica.com/2013/01/21/major-drops-in-price-ahead-for-nissa... " href="http://cleantechnica.com/2013/01/21/major-drops-in-price-ahead-for-nissan-leaf-and-chevy-volt/" target="_blank">Clean Technica, sales are expected to rise 14 percent in 2013. The former statistic makes clean vehicles the fastest growing sector of the American auto market. Remember when SUV’s were the fastest growing segment? Me too, and I grin with delight to think of such a significant paradigm shift.

Here's how Nissan describes the different trims:

The 2013 LEAF will be made in Nissan plant in Smyrna, Tenn. Powertrain output is 107 horsepower, with 187 lb-ft of torque, and energy is supplied by a 48-module lithium-ion battery that is also made in Smyrna. Because of aerodynamics improvements, the 2013 LEAF should have a longer driving range than the previous version, though the official EPA numbers aren't out yet. The Japanese version claimed a 14% improvement, but the US testing cycle is different.

Lower Electric Vehicle Prices from GM and Nissan
For those of you who always wanted an electric vehicle but the near $36,000 price tag was a deal-breaker: your time has come. Nissan took the first step, announcing last month an 18 percent price cut, bringing the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) from $35,200 to just $28,800. That’s still a lot of money, but brings the entirely electric vehicle into a more reasonable price range for many people.Depending on your state’s tax credits, combined with the feds, you may be able to purchase a Leaf for around $18,800. This is for the lowest model, the “S”. The higher-end models, the SV and SL, also saw price drops – although less significant.

Nissan Announces Huge Price Reduction for 2013 Leaf
Last week, Nissan issued a press release announcing the improvements it had in store for its 2013 Leaf EV. Among those improvements were an additional, less expensive trim level, an extended range, and a better charging time. Though the Japanese company did not include pricing details simultaneously, many inferred that a price reduction would be in order because the Leaf and its battery are now being manufactured stateside in Smyrna, Tennessee.
Today, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Nissan announced pricing for the 2013 Leaf. In doing so, they confirmed that there would indeed be a price reduction for the next model year. The Japanese automaker is also claiming that the price reduction will make the 2013 Leaf the least expensive five-seater EV available to North American consumers.
According to yet another extremely long press release from Nissan, the 2013 Leaf will be available beginning at an MSRP of $6,400 less than the starting MSRP of the 2012 Leaf. Further, all three trim levels of the 2013 Leaf will have MSRPs lower than the cheapest 2012 Leaf. The 2012 Leaf currently has a starting price of $35,200 before any applicable federal or state tax credits, whereas the highest trim level of the 2013 Leaf—the SL—will have an MSRP of $34,840. The mid-level trim—the SV—will be priced at $31,820, while the base trim—the S—will start at $28,800.
After the $7,500 federal tax credit Leaf owners qualify for, the price of the 2013 Leaf EV will fall to $21,300. Further, if you qualify for California’s state tax credit of $2,500—you’re looking at only $18,800 for a 2013 Leaf S. Keep in mind, however, a destination fee of $850 dollars is not included in any of the above prices, nor are any tax, title, and license fees. You can read the press release in its entirety here.

2013 Nissan LEAF Gets Massive Price Cut (-$6,400)
© Nissan
New Entry-Level Model Almost 20% Cheaper than 2012 Model
This was not unexpected. In fact, a few months ago I wrote about Nissan's intention to create a new, improved and less expensive entry-level model of the electric LEAF. But it's still a welcome development: The 2013 Nissan LEAF electric car will now come in a new entry-level trim with an MSRP of just $28,800, which, after federal and state tax credits (depending on where you are), can mean you actually pay around $19,000. This compares very favorably with the MSRP of the 2012 base LEAF, which was $35,200, but this isn't exactly apples to apples since this more spartan trim didn't exist previously.According to Nissan, this price drop makes the LEAF the least expensive 5-seat electric car in the US.© Nissan
2013 Nissan LEAF Trim Levels
The 2013 LEAF will now be available in three different trims:- LEAF S for $28,800.
- LEAF SV for $31,820.
- LEAF SL for $34,840.
Here's how Nissan describes the different trims:
The 2013 Nissan LEAF is offered in three well-equipped models, the LEAF S, LEAF SV and LEAF SL. Standard features include 6-way manual driver's seat, 4-way manual front passenger's seat, trip computer (instant and average energy consumption, driving time, outside temperature and autonomy range), Automatic Temperature Control (ATC), center console storage and 3.6 kW onboard charger. Other standard equipment includes Nissan Intelligent Key® with Push Button Start, Bluetooth® hands-free phone system, power windows with driver's window one-touch auto up/down, power door locks with auto locking feature, remote charge door release, variable intermittent windshield wipers, AM/FM/CD with MP3 playback capability and a 12-volt power outlet.
LEAF SV models are upgraded to 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels, a 6.6 kW onboard charger, cruise control, auto dimming rear view mirror, energy saving hybrid heating system, an upgraded 6-speaker sound system, 7-inch color LCD display, Pandora® link for iPhone users, Nissan Navigation system with CARWINGS telematics and B-mode setting for increased regenerative braking. At an MSRP of $31,820, the 2013 LEAF SV represents a $3,380 savings over a similar 2012 model.
LEAF SL adds leather-appointed seats, 17-inch five spoke alloy wheels, DC 480V fast charge port, automatic on/off LED headlights, fog lights, photovoltaic solar panel rear spoiler and HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. At an MSRP of $34,840, the 2013 LEAF SL represents a $2,410 savings over a similar 2012 model. (source)
