Well, as soon as Obama brings back a vibrant economy and makes everyone really rich, I imagine that a great many people will rush out and buy a Leaf.
But for now ... not so much.

I’m sorry, but there is no way that a 45 y.o. is a “baby boomer.” The Boomers were the result of the end of WWII around 1945.
Being one of the original “Boomers”, I resent the name being usurped by some “kid” born in ‘64.

Nissan, at a minimum they should calculate the cost per mile relative to a standard combustion engine of reasonable efficiency and make it available at the time of purchase. Not all states pay the same for electricity and some pay significantly more than others, possibly more disproportionate than gas.

"The average buyer of a 2011 Nissan Leaf is a 45-year-old baby boomer." I'm 41 and I consider myself a Gen-Xer...I doubt there are a whole lot of 45-year-olds who consider themselves "boomers", but then again, I doubt there are a whole lot of people who will be buying the "Leaf", so maybe they do have their demographic targeted accurately.

Watch the prices for them in the used market. That will tell you how successful the car is in the marketplace.

MSRP: about $20-29k.
Folks could probably buy a car like that.

The answer is:
Bill Nye, Alyssa Milano and wealthy baby boomers.

Bill Nye is only buying one to one-up Ed Begley. Bill is Ed's neighbor in real life and is in a continuous "keeping up with the Joneses" game with Ed on the green stuff.

Are they kidding? They named a vehicle the Leaf?
I don’t think I could have come up with a dumber name for a car if I tried.
To: C19fan
The typical buyer, if any can be found, has to be an idiot.
Without traffic I can drive from my house to Lincoln Center in NYC in a half hour. A round trip in one of these things would be a complete cr@pshoot for me.
(And if I did make it home and had my own $4000 charging station, it is still not clear to me how much each full recharge would cost.)
