Are You Waiting On One? 600 Pre-Quake Nissan Leafs Arrive in US Port

On March 18, Nissan stated that more than 1,500 Nissan LEAF vehicles were either in transit from Japan or at port in the U.S. This number includes the shipment of more than 600 Nissan LEAFs which left port in Japan on March 10, the day before the earthquake.

The arrival of the “Luna Spirit”, one of Nissan’s fleet of vehicle carrying ships—now docked and ready to be unloaded in Long Beach, Calif.—is a major breakthrough for electric cars in the United States. These 1,500 cars are the first major delivery of LEAFs to the U.S. and will put an order of magnitude more LEAFs on American roadways.

Excellent!

And by the looks of it and the future of nuclear power, those would also be the last Nissan Leaves to arrive from Japan :(

Will be interesting to see how much Leaf sales pick up with the increased availability.
