Communauto, the original car sharing company in North America, with over 1,000 cars (for 20,000+ members) in 315 stations in the Montreal/Quebec City region announced they will be adding 50 LEAFs to their fleet as soon as the car becomes available in late 2011 in Canada.
Communauto is the first such company to announce bringing a LEAF fleet to the general public. The venture is a result of the tie-up between Nissan and Hydro-Quebec.
“By offering the all-electric Nissan LEAF next year, Communauto is reconfirming its environmental commitment to our more than 20,000 users,” said Benoît Robert, President of Communauto. “Our customers will soon be able to share the only real-world car with zero emissions and that brings together all the comfort, style and practicality that they are looking for.”

Nissan says older buyers have shown strong interest in its breakthrough electric car, the Leaf.
Older buyers have embraced Nissan’s ground-breaking Leaf electric car, with one in three buyers over the age of 60.
The baby-boomer generation has responded strongly to the car in Nissan’s home market, Japan, with 34 per cent of the Leaf’s initial production run of 6000 cars pledged to the over-60 age group.
Buyers aged 50-plus and 40-plus comprise another 25 per cent each respectively, to give buyers over the age of 40 a total of 84 per cent of Leaf ownership in Japan.
