Nissan Takes Leaf Electric Car on Tour

The Leaf, an electric vehicle that Nissan plans to start selling globally next year, will be introduced here on Friday, which marks the start of a 22-city tour.

The Nissan Leaf Zero Emission Tour will make stops in 11 states and will end in New York on Feb. 14.

The Leaf display will spend four days in Los Angeles, being shuttled to various locations to build up awareness of Nissan’s commitment to being the first to market with a mass-produced electric vehicle. The Leaf prototype that crowds will be checking out is close to what the production will look like. But the car on display doesn’t run.
