It might be hard to believe, but Nissan has been selling its all-electric 2011 Leaf for nearly eight months. And a few days ago, the company sold its 5,000th Leaf to a U.S. customer.
But while Nissan doesn’t officially break down sales on a state-by-state basis, most of those sales are in the state of California, according to Nissan spokesperson Katherine Zachary.
Nissan states that around 85% of all Leafs sold were ordered with the 2011 model year option of a DC rapid-charging port, despite the general sparsity of publicly available DC rapid charging stations.
As the rapid charging port was only available during the 2011 model year as a $700 option on the $33,720 Nissan Leaf SL, we can conclude that most consumers made the gamble that the as-yet unofficial rapid charging standard would be officially adopted in the U.S.

Next year, the fast charging port will come as standard on the 2012 Nissan Leaf SL.
The sales milestone comes in a month where between 900 and 950 Leafs are expected to enter private ownership, slowly delivering the 2011 Leaf to the 2,000 or so remaining customers patiently waiting for a delivery in the areas actually selling the Leaf.
But that says nothing of the estimated 18,000 people who have paid $99 to be on Nissan’s pre-reservation waiting list in areas where the Leaf won’t be sold until sometime in 2012.
For them, the long wait continues, however uncomfortable that may be.
