Thinking about buying a Nissan Leaf electric car but don’t feel like simple a test drive really puts it through the paces? You’ll be able to rent a Leaf at Hertz next year so for those on the fence, this might give environmentally conscious drivers a chance to make up their minds on the Nissan Leaf.

The Nissan Leaf has already shown signs of success with preorders being such that production shortfalls are expected. There have already been 7,000 pro-orders in the U.S. and another 4,000 in Japan.

Nissan claims that they Leaf will have a lower price tag than the Toyta Prius Hybrid and cost less to operate on account of being a 100% electric vehicle.
