They also partnered with Hertz, so you'll be able to rent one to really see how it does:

This is a good move, because a quick test-drive won't be enough to truly determine if an electric car would work for your lifestyle.

I don't know if Nissan does it with all vehicles, but when I went to test drive a 350Z, the dealership let me keep it all day to see if I liked it enough to buy. It had exactly the effect they expected ;-)

For a new type of vehicle like the Leef, it would be an even better idea.
