Nissan has announced that the Leaf electric car will be priced under €30,000 after incentives in its European launch markets, which include the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands and Portugal. Contrary to some previous comments attributed to CEO Carlos Ghosn, all of the prices include the cost of battery. Earlier this year Ghosn had indicated that the Leaf and other electric vehicles from the Renault-Nissan alliance would be sold with a separate lease for the battery pack, but that's apparently not the case at launch time.

The cost of the Leaf in the UK will be £23,350 (€27,471) after a £5,000 government rebate. These first four countries were chosen because of the incentives that will keep the cost to consumers more manageable. Nissan will start taking reservations for the Leaf in Europe in July 2010. Check out the full press release after the break.

Wow, it sure didn't take long for pre-orders of the Nissan Leaf to exceed the company's current production capacity. In just a few short weeks, Nissan has tallied around 17,000 pre-orders from interested U.S. and Japanese buyers, exceeding initial capacity. So now what? Well, Nissan is working on a solution as we speak. The company will try to allocate additional capacity for the Leaf, but there's no guarantee it can be done in time for expected deliveries.

As it stands, Nissan has enough capacity to deliver around 12,000 Leafs by next March, but that means the company will fall well short of meeting demand at the rate pre-orders continue to come in. Still, that's a better problem to have than too many Leafs and not enough interested buyers. Assuming Nissan doesn't find a quick-fix to grow more Leafs, production capacity for the new EV will grow after the car's U.S. and UK production sites come on-line within the next few years. But right now, a few years is really a few too many.

The headlights also split and redirect airflow away from the door mirrors, reducing wind noise and drag.

According to Musk, production of the Model S will bring about 1,000 employees back to the NUMMI plant to produce about 20,000 cars a year at first, and as the facility expands – possibly to include the production of more models – it could employ up to 10,000 workers.
