The Nissan Leaf used to cost an eye-popping $51,500 in Australia, which may be why only 116 people bought it at that price.

Fortunately, the price has dropped by an impressive $15,000, down to $39,990 after on-road costs, but 36,500 without on-road costs factored in.

“We want to sell more,” said Nissan Australia spokesman Peter Fadeyev. “We want to stimulate the market.”

Customers that already paid that extremely high price will not be reimbursed the price difference.

    Its only $18,800 in the US… Why so expensive here?

    • Bob_Wallace

      Two reasons. One is a US federal subsidy of $7,500 which means the actual selling price is $26,300. (Is that right, need to check.)

      Second, Nissan opened a factory in the US and it’s cheaper to manufacture here than in Japan. Plus no shipping charges.
