Electric vehicle's website EV.com has named Nissan Leaf car of the year. The Leaf is the first mass-produced pure electric vehicle (100% electric, no-gas) from a major car manufacturer available in the United States.

Deliveries of the front-wheel drive five-door electric hatchback started in December of 2010, with the very first model being delivered in Petaluma, California to 31-year-old Olivier Chalouhi. Days later, the first ten Leafs delivered in Europe were bought by the Portuguese Government and the consortium behind Portugal's national mobility network project. The first year’s production was essentially pre-purchased online within months of it being offered.

EV.com sent its congratulations to Nissan and their CEO Carlos Ghosn, credited with 'not only bringing a automotive industry changing product to the mass-market, but also providing the spark that started an electric car revolution at the major automotive manufacturers'.
