The Nissan Dealer in Indianapolis reports the Nissan Leaf is slated to be released to the public in fall 2010. The Leaf will be available for rent from Hertz shortly after, allowing drivers who are unsure to test the Leaf for an extended period through the rental process.

While many details of the Leaf are still kept under wraps, it is reported this automobile will be incredibly innovative. The Leaf is said to have an IT system that is connected to a large data center. From the Leaf, drivers will be able to request basically anything from roadside from support to music and directions.  The Leaf can also conveniently display where the nearest charging station for the fully electric vehicle is located. Indianapolis used Nissan dealers believe this will be an incredible perk for drivers who are nervous about driving without the cushion of a gas engine.

The Nissan Leaf is estimated to have a purchase price of between $25.000 and $33.000, however pricing will not officially be announced until spring of this year. The Nissan Dealer in Indianapolis confirms many drivers will likely be enticed by the idea of renting the Nissan Leaf. The fully electric car is something many people are interested in, however, many of these same people may be hesitant to jump into purchasing such a new technology.
