Home Charging Stations And Installation Services To Be Available For Nissan Leaf At Time Of Purchase
When the Nissan Leaf becomes available for purchase in December 2010, customers will be able to charge their zero-emissions electric hatches at home with a home charging station.
The charging station will be available at the sale of each Nissan Leaf and is designed to provide a safe and reliable charge when installed with a connection to a 220-volt line. It will take eight hours to fully charge a Nissan Leaf from a fully discharged state.
But even before fellow Leafers drive the Leaf home, a company called AeroVironment (AV) will offer access to its national network of qualified, licensed electricians who will provide pre-installation home assessment services prior to vehicle delivery. If a customer is set on buying the Leaf and charging it in his/her garage, AV will also provide installation services for the charging stations. In fact, the Nissan-branded home charging stations will be supplied and manufactured by AeroVironment (AV).
“Nissan is committed to bringing zero-emission mobility to the United States, and around the world,” said Carlos Tavares, Chairman, Nissan Americas. “A part of that commitment is delivering a one-stop shop experience for the new car owner, which is why we chose AeroVironment. As a result of our selection, drivers of the Nissan LEAF will be able to charge their vehicles safely overnight at their own homes.”

Perhaps the goal of this particular ad was to first promote the Nissan brand and then to have let viewers know of the Leaf. If that’s the case, good on you Nissan! Watch the ad after the jump!
