Enhanced Incentives Available for Potomac Edison Customers to Purchase All-Electric Nissan LEAF

WILLIAMSPORT, Md., Aug. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Potomac Edison customers in Maryland can save $5,000 off the price of a 2018 all-electric Nissan LEAF – or receive zero percent financing for 72 months – simply by showing their electric bill and a copy of the official program flyer to a participating Nissan dealership.

In addition, the purchaser could qualify for up to $7,500 in federal electric vehicle tax credits, plus be eligible for a one-time Maryland excise tax credit, up to $3,000 for a qualifying plug-in electric vehicle.

Depending on the model, the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) list price for the Nissan LEAF begins at under $30,000.  The enhanced incentives are available from Nissan North America Inc., through September 30, 2018, or while supplies last.  Earlier this year, Nissan offered a $3,000 rebate for Potomac Edison customers in Maryland who purchased a LEAF model.

The 2018 LEAF features a 40 percent increase in range, a more powerful motor, and new exterior and interior styling compared to previous LEAF models.

To receive the $5,000 rebate or zero percent financing, Potomac Edison customers need to show their monthly billing statement and a copy of the promotional flyer available here www.firstenergycorp.com/nissanrebateMD to participating LEAF-certified Nissan dealerships listed at https://www.nissanusa.com/nissandealers/.  Nissan suggests calling ahead to the dealership to confirm inventory. 

The advantages of driving an all-electric vehicle include:

  • No gasoline – at the current U.S. national average price of 12.5 cents per kilowatt hour, electricity is roughly equivalent to gasoline at $1 a gallon.
  • No oil changes 
  • Vehicle charging at home overnight
  • Virtually silent operation at low speeds and on highway
  • No emissions.

To make charging the electric vehicle convenient at home, Potomac Edison customers also can lease an Electric Vehicle Charger by going to https://www.firstenergycorp.com/home-products-and-services/ev-charger.html.
