Five hundred Nissan Leafs will be delivered to Enterprise Rent-a-Car in January 2011. Enterprise will pay $25,280 for each car -- which is the $32,780 base price, less the $7,500 federal tax credit.
The rental company will put them into its consumer rental fleets in Los Angeles and San Diego, CA; Phoenix and Tucson, AZ; Nashville and Knoxville, TN; Portland, OR; and Seattle, WA.
Charging stations will be installed at these locations in November 2010, and staff will be trained to instruct customers on how to care for the cars.
Hertz, you'll recall, announced in May that it would place the 2011 Leaf in select rental fleets in the United States and Europe.
For those wanting to buy a Leaf, Nissan announced today that it would match the Chevrolet Volt's 8-year/100,000-mile lithium-ion battery pack warranty.
Deliveries to everyday joes will start in December 2010 in California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona and Tennessee. Hawaii and Texas will follow in January 2011, and come April 2011, you'll be able to get the car in North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, South Carolina and Alabama, too.
