Nissan Leaf goes on Sale in México

Nissan announced the launch of LEAF, the first 100 percent electric vehicle to be marketed in México. It is the first zero-emissions vehicle marketed in México. Initially, the Nissan LEAF in México will be available for sale through Nissan’s certified dealership network located in México City.
Nissan and the government of the State of Morelos have agreed to create the first electric corridor in Latin America. It will be located between México City and Cuernavaca.
México City soon will have a development plan to install charging zones in Colonia Roma, Colonia Del Valle, Coyoacan, Polanco, Santa Fe, Ciudad Satelite, Altavista and San Angel.
Jorge Vallejo, director of external relations and government affairs for Nissan in México, Latin America and the Caribbean, said “The main goal of this infrastructure is to increase the number of charging stations to increase the confidence and safety when driving an electric vehicle, with the benefit of a responsible social change.” He added, “We understand the anxiety that driving an electric vehicle can cause without the proper infrastructure in each city, and the most important and positive fact is that every Nissan LEAF user has the chance to charge the vehicle at home.”
Alejandro Viveros, senior manager of Nissan’s zero-emissions business unit, said “Having a Nissan LEAF is a totally fun and satisfying experience that now Mexican customers can enjoy.”
