Nissan’s fully-electric hatchback the Leaf is sold out for two years – two months before it was due to go on sale. The Leaf is due in North American showrooms in December, but Nissan dealers there have been forced to stop taking deposits after receiving 20,000 orders. Nissan in Japan meanwhile is holding a further 6,000 customer orders. The car maker only plans to build 10,000 per year. The Nissan Leaf is due in Australia in 2012 priced less than $40,000 and with a driving range of 160km between recharges.
