Today Nissan Canada finally announced pricing for the all-new 2011 Nissan LEAF, the first mass-produced, all-electric car sold in the country. It will be available in two trim levels including the SV at $38,395 and the more upscale SL at $39,995.

Customers in Ontario and Quebec are eligible for a provincial government rebate of $8,500 and $8,000, respectively, toward the cost of a Nissan LEAF, making it very attractive given the list of features and potential for energy savings.
