Nissan Leaf Public Reservations now open

On the 15th of May Nissan North America opened up the Leaf (electric vehicle) Registration system to the public. Previously the system was only open to those who had expressed interest and signed up for early access to the system. The private registration opened on 4/20 and ran through the 14th, with 9500 registrations during that time frame.

Reservations get you on the list for the option to buy a Nissan Leaf possibly later in 2010 depending on market availability and locale. To register you must pay a refundable $100 fee.
