'It's exciting to see how this network of charging stations is breaking the range barrier for EV owners,' said Transportation Secretary Peterson who also drives a Nissan LEAF. 'It puts Washington's diverse, natural landscapes in easy reach without vehicle emissions and at a significantly lower cost.' More than 5,000 plug-in-electric cars are already registered in the state. Washington has among the cleanest and least expensive supply of electricity in the nation, making it an ideal place to drive electric. It's good for the environment, it's good for the state, and it's good for drivers. In addition to the lower operating costs of driving on electricity compared to gasoline, EV drivers also enjoy fewer routine maintenance costs. Since the launch of Nissan LEAF in December 2010, Nissan has sold more than 40,000 all-electric LEAF cars in the United States and more than 92,000 globally. Through November in 2013, Seattle-Tacoma is one of the top U.S. markets for total LEAF sales with an increase of more than 230 percent over the same period in 2012.
