Vancouver announcement
For Immediate Release
Renault-Nissan Alliance Signs Zero-Emission Partnership in Vancouver
Vancouver, BC (Oct. 6, 2009) The RenaultNissan Alliance, the Province of British Columbia, the City of Vancouver and BC Hydro announced today a partnership that will see British Columbia become the initial launch point for Nissans Canadian zero-emission transportation program.
British Columbia is scheduled to be the first Canadian province to receive the Nissan LEAF, Nissan's first all-electric real-world car, in 2011, in advance of global distribution in 2012.
Agreements like this one with the RenaultNissan Alliance are an important step in making climate-friendly transportation a lifestyle choice for all British Columbians, said Blair Lekstrom, Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, Province of British Columbia. Electric vehicles, fuelled by clean, renewable energy resources, will help us achieve a low carbon transportation future.
The memorandum of understanding brings together representatives from each organization to identify opportunities to promote the use of zero-emission vehicles in Vancouver and other areas in B.C. Discussions will also explore the establishment of charging infrastructure in Vancouver.
Today is an exciting day for Nissan Canada as we announce an important step in making electric vehicles a reality in the Canadian market, said Mark Grimm, President of Nissan Canada Inc. We have the technology for zero-emission mobility without compromise and working with important partners like those signing this agreement is a critical step in this evolution."
"Moving towards a zero-emission mobility program gets Vancouver closer to our goal of becoming the worlds greenest city," said Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. "Weve moved very aggressively to bring in electric vehicle charging infrastructure regulations for Vancouver that is a first for North America. The City will need electric vehicles to charge on that new infrastructure. We are very pleased to be the first Canadian municipal partner of Nissan, a global leader in electric-vehicle technologies."
The agreement also supports an application to the federal governments Clean Energy Fund for a charging infrastructure pilot program planned by the Province, BC Hydro and the City of Vancouver.
We continue to work with industry and government partners to ensure British Columbia is ready for the introduction of electric vehicles, said Bob Elton, President and CEO of BC Hydro. We are building a conservation culture in B.C. which includes not only the efficient use of electricity but also the protection of air quality.
The agreement adds B.C. to a growing network of zero-emission vehicle initiatives across the world. The Renault-Nissan Alliance has formed partnerships with 30 governments, cities and other organizations to advance the deployment of electric vehicles worldwide.

Mexico City announcement
For Immediate Release
Renault-Nissan Alliance Signs Zero-Emission Partnership
with Mexico City Government
MEXICO CITY, (October 28, 2009) The RenaultNissan Alliance and the Mexico City Government today announced a partnership that paves the way for the introduction of the Nissan LEAF in Mexicos capital city in 2011.
Mexico City will become the first city in Latin America to receive the Nissan LEAF and is part of the Mexico City government Green Plan (Plan Verde) committed to reduce CO2 emissions from vehicles by promoting battery-electric vehicles.
The memorandum of understanding, signed by the authorities and Nissan, brings together representatives from each organization to identify opportunities to promote the use of zero-emission vehicles in Mexico City.
Today is a historic day for the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Mexico City. Carlos Tavares, President of Nissan Americas, said. We are signing a Memorandum of Understanding in order to introduce electric vehicles in Mexicos capital. Zero-emission leadership is a core commitment for the Renault-Nissan Alliance. We are delighted to share a common vision for a cleaner world with Mr. Ebrards administration.
Bringing the electric vehicle to the Mexico City market is a natural progression of Nissans leadership and heritage in Mexico. José Muñoz, President of Nissan Mexicana, said. Working with important partners like Mexico City is a critical step in our continued and lasting commitment to the Mexican society.
Marking its tenth anniversary this year, the Renault-Nissan Alliance is leading a collaborative approach with both business and governments and has signed more than 30 other agreements worldwide with partners to launch its fist electric vehicle starting 2010 and to mass market a full range of electrical vehicles by 2012. Today, with this initiative, Mexico City joins this approach.
The Nissan LEAF is the first vehicle to be launched under this agreement. It provides a quiet, efficient driving experience with a range of about 160 Km (100 Miles). The five-door, five-passenger hatchback is an electric motor and battery operated car (all-electric car) with absolutely no polluting emissions. No internal combustion engine and fossil oil-based fuel are needed. Its electric motor supplies 80 kW of power (107 hp) and 280 N-m (207 lb-ft) of direct torque to its wheels, providing a rapid response and a powerful acceleration.
The Renault Nissan Alliance
The Renault Nissan Alliance, founded in 1999, sold 6 090 304 vehicles in 2008. The objective of the Alliance is to rank among the worlds top three vehicle manufacturers in terms of quality, technology and profitability.

In line with Renault eco2 environmental policy, Renault Z.E. electric vehicles are poised to be marketed on a large scale with a view to taking a decisive stand on the environmental front.
Green Plan Mexico City
The Green Plan is the mid-term plan of Mexico City that contains the strategies and actions to drive the city towards development sustainability for it to continue being an adequate space for its inhabitants without affecting the natural heritage that makes it viable. The Green Plan considers an entire environmental agenda (Environmental Agenda for Mexico City. Environmental Program 2007-2012), and its main aim is focused on driving Mexico City towards sustainability since, as most cities of the new century, the metropolis is in demand of medium and long term policies and actions to guarantee its ecologic feasibility. The Agenda represents a group of unprecedented actions to improve the life quality of its inhabitants and to achieve the aim of the Government of Mexico City focused on transforming it into the greenest city in Latin America; but mainly, it responds to the legitimate demand of having policies that foster measures against the environmental deterioration.

Nissan to Lease Leaf Battery

Project Better Place?
I thought the projected prices sounded funny. Battery packs haven't gotten that much cheaper that quickly.

I don't think Nissan is working with PBP, but I could be mistaken. What would the benefit be, other than to add cost? PBP doesn't offer any added value.

It's accounting shenanigans. They don't think you'll buy a bare-bones electric car for $48,000.00. (They're probably right.)
They hide the true cost of the car by breaking it into car+battery. You buy the car and lease the battery. They pretend that the battery lease payments plus the cost of electricity will roughly equal the equivalent gasoline expense.
If the cost of the battery goes down their profit margins improve. The lease payments for new batteries won't decline nearly as fast as the cost.
It will be interesting to see the tap dancing Mitsubishi does with the iMiev.

Well they can't just pretend. The lease price on battery has to be low enough (say $150 a month) for this to be correct.
The truth is battery prices will go down - and the oil prices (if you can get enough of it) will go up.
I think $25-33K purchase price range is too high for the LEAF. In essence, it is an electrified Versa, which goes for 13K-16.5K. Is the body + power electronics + electric motor really that expensive? Prius, which LEAF buyers will likely cross-shop, starts at $22.4K-27.7K. LEAF will likely have the "more fun to drive" angle going for it, but 100 miles on city cycle is a bit low. The $7.5K federal tax credit may sweeten the deal a little, but will it apply for battery lease deal? Too many questions here ...

I'm guessing body + power electronics + electric motor can easily add ~$10k to the price depending on volume. But that's looking at conversion prices (AC motor is is $5k+, a decent controller is $2k+, charger is $2k+). I'm sure Nissan can do better.
It is a bit steep if you are already leasing the battery. If not, I think even mid $30k is pretty good pricing.
