Nissan surpasses Leaf sales expectations in Japan The auto industry is eagerly anticipating the debut of the first electric vehicles in the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt. The future of electric cars may hinge on the reception of them by the public. One important statistic is the number of early adopters who commit to the product. If Nissan's sales in Japan are any indication, electric vehicles have a long and bright future. Nissan, the third-largest Japanese automaker behind Honda and Toyota, recently released the preliminary sales figures on the new Leaf model. According to the report, Nissan has already received 6,000 preorders, which was its target for total sales of the vehicles in the first year. The company began taking pre-orders on April 1, but the car isn't due to hit showrooms until December. Last month, Nissan revealed that the U.S. and Japan had combined to order 13,000 units, suggesting that the car will be popular in the U.S. as well. Until electric vehicles are widely adopted, those who want to go green when they drive should consider looking at hybrids like the Toyota Prius on the used car market. A vehicle is likely to be the second most expensive item a person will purchase after a home. Before choosing a vehicle, there should be consideration of many factors. For families purchasing a car, safety and reliability can be of paramount importance. Customers may consider the total cost of the vehicle, financing, warranties and fuel efficiency. The standard hybrid car is an old version of plug-in hybrid car. When standard hybrid cars were first introduced in the market, people were overjoyed by knowing the fact that they now can own a car, and maintain it very easily. This car became very popular within no time, because of its eco-friendly characteristics, and fuel efficiency. The plug-in hybrid cars are not in the market yet, but the specifications, and functionalities we know from General Motors, and Toyota Motors give evidence that it will break all records of success of standard hybrid cars. Plug-in hybrid cars are more fuel efficient than standard hybrid cars. In addition, emissions that cause the green house effect are low. There are many rumours circulating in the market about plug-in hybrid cars, but the ground realities will be unveiled only when people will own, and drive them.
