Nissan has accumulated about 13,000 orders for the 2018 Leaf in the US, Engadget reports [engadget.com], citing a conversation with Nissan during the 2018 Detroit Auto Show.

The 2018 Leaf entered US production in December [cnet.com], and deliveries are expected to begin en masse early this year. While it's also built in Japan, US-spec Leafs are built right here in the ol' US of A -- Smyrna, Tennessee, specifically.

This swell of demand means that Nissan is doing something right with the Leaf's redesign. Whereas the last Leaf was a bit too futuristic for my tastes, the new one fits right in alongside the rest of Nissan's recently refreshed rides.
