At Passport Nissan, we're pretty big fans of zero-emissions commuting. Nissan seems to have mastered the art with the world's first mass-produced electric vehicle, the Nissan LEAF. The demand for the 2011 Nissan LEAF was strong, but unfortunately, supply was not. The LEAF was only available in select markets during its initial launch, but now word has it that the 2012 model will expand into more states than before.

More specifically, the 2012 Nissan LEAF will be sold in each of its current markets, as well as Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey and New York. "Consumers have spoken, and it's clear that they are looking for a car that produces zero emissions and uses no gas," said Brian Carolin, senior VP of Sales and Marketing at Nissan North America. "We are seeing tremendous consumer interest in the Nissan LEAF in these new markets, particularly in the New York metropolitan area."¹

The Nissan LEAF is so impressive because it is among the first mass produced all electric cars in the world. As such, the LEAF has attracted a diehard fan base that is eager to share their eco-friendly-driving experiences with the world. 14 of them have even opted to start a new blog, NissanLEAFDrives.com. The blog features content from the various owners on what it's like to own an electric vehicle, along with each of the benefits and obstacles it can present.
