Nissan’s “No Charge to Charge” promotion has officially arrived in Minneapolis-St. Paul, providing new Nissan LEAF buyers two years of complimentary public charging with the purchase of the all-electric car from LEAF-certified dealers in the Twin Cities region.
“Nissan LEAF is an attractive option for Minneapolis-St. Paul car shoppers — in addition to the $7,500 federal tax credit, LEAF buyers can enjoy two years of free public charging,” said Andrew Speaker, director, Electric Vehicle (EV) Sales & Marketing, Nissan. “Those benefits, combined with the significantly lower operating costs and zero spending on gas, make owning an all-electric vehicle a cost-effective and convenient choice.”
Nissan now offers “No Charge to Charge” in 22 of the top markets for Nissan LEAF sales, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, Fresno, Seattle, Portland (Oregon), Chicago, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Nashville, Phoenix, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston, Denver, Washington, D.C., Boston, Monterey, Austin, Raleigh-Durham and Salt Lake City. Nissan plans to expand the “No Charge to Charge” program to a total of 25 U.S. markets in the coming months.

Unlike internal combustion engine-equipped vehicles, LEAF has no tailpipe, which means there is no emission of CO2 or other greenhouse gases. The public quick chargers can charge a LEAF from zero to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes.
