FRANKLIN, TN--Sept. 20, 2012: Nissan LEAF owners throughout the United States are gearing up for the second annual National Plug In Day on Sept. 23. This nationwide celebration of electric vehicles involves a variety of events planned in more than 60 cities across the country, with activities including electric car parades, ride-and-drives, music, games and more.

"This year, thousands of Nissan LEAF owners around the country will show their enthusiasm for zero-emission car culture with activities at National Plug In Day," said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Nissan North America. "This kind of passion does more than drive awareness--it allows pioneers of the electric vehicle movement to share their experiences, and it demonstrates that electric vehicle ownership is about more than transportation. It's a lifestyle."

National Plug In Day, organized by Plug In America, the Sierra Club and the Electric Auto Association, champions the benefits of plug-in vehicles, such as the 100-percent electric Nissan LEAF that recently was named the No. 1 commuter vehicle by TotalCarScore.com.
