Awesome job to our staff for earning THREE positive reviews on Cars.com!

"My experience at the Nissan of Redbank was profitable to me in every way. All of the employees were very courteous and available for assistance. From the moment I walked through the door I was greeted by salesmen who worked diligently with me in selecting the car that I wanted to purchase. Once this was accomplished they referred me to the General Manager who was most accommodating and helpful in resolving other pertinent issues. I highly commend the General Manager and the Redbank salesmen for a job well done. I purchased my previous car from this location nearly six years ago and felt comfortable with returning in search of a new car, because of the former auto repair and customer service I received. I highly recommend the Nissan of Redbank location to all car shoppers."

"I went to look at a new car April 30th 2013. My husband had bought a new car in Jan 2013 had such a positive buying experience we decided to go back. And we were so right. Our salesman Lamore was so great and very nice to us. I usually hate going to deal with dealerships, but this changed my mind. Walked out with a brand new Nissan Altima. Perfect experience. Would recommend this dealership to all my friends."

"I am very satisfied with the honesty and professionalism at Nissan World of Red Bank. I have been bringing my Sentra here for the last two years and feel confident in the recommendations of my Service consultant, Cory Newton. He explains to me what needs to be done. In all the years of dealing with service centers I finally feel as if I can trust that my car is being taken care of properly."

Nissan and CarCharging to Expand Electric Vehicle Quick Charger Network!

Nissan and Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCQB: CCGI), a nationwide provider of convenient electric vehicle (EV) charging services, announced a joint initiative to make EV charging more readily available and to expand consumer awareness of the electric car market. CarCharging and Nissan will work together to determine the placement of the chargers, which is expected to be in key markets throughout the United States by the end of 2013.

Nissan's quick charger stations drastically reduce charging times, charging a fully depleted Nissan LEAF to 80 percent capacity in approximately 30 minutes. The initial goal for the initiative is to deploy the 48 Nissan-branded quick chargers primarily in California and on the East Coast.

As a part of the initiative, CarCharging will continue to educate consumers about how the EV charging infrastructure enhances the adoption and use of electric cars. This campaign will include tools to communicate the charging opportunities for drivers without private garages, such as residents of apartment and condo communities; the ease and benefits of public EV charging; and charging subscription offerings.

CarCharging is also developing a mobile application to provide real-time charging station location information with turn-by-turn directions and access capability for all CarCharging EV charging stations, including ChargePoint® and Nissan's quick chargers. CarCharging will also offer its proprietary evCharge card at no cost to all LEAF drivers at participating Nissan dealerships. The evCharge card allows drivers to initiate use and payment at all public charging stations on the ChargePoint® Network, the largest national online network connecting EV drivers to EV charging stations.

Brendan Jones, Nissan director for EV Infrastructure, said, "Nissan's commitment to expanding EV charging infrastructure—including quick chargers with businesses such as CarCharging—not only supports today's Nissan LEAF and other EV drivers, but also helps prepare communities for the increasing use of EVs. With more than 25,000 Nissan LEAFs already on U.S. roads, bolstering infrastructure further accelerates the adoption curve as it provides range confidence and promotes additional zero-emissions driving."

"CarCharging is thrilled to enhance our products and services by including Nissan's quick chargers in our public EV charging network and to offer our evCharge card to consumers who purchase a LEAF at a Nissan dealership," said Michael D. Farkas, CEO of CarCharging. "Through our partnership with Nissan, we are eager to expand the EV market by educating consumers who don't live in single-family homes and may not be aware of public EV charging services available today."

2013 Nissan Leaf named 'Top Safety Pick' in IIHS crash tests

Life can be good in a 2013 Nissan Leaf, even when you're crashing one. The all-electric five-seater from Nissan, which is enjoying surging sales this year, has now received the top safety rating by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

The Leaf joined the Nissan Altima and Infiniti M37/M56 on Nissan's stable on the 2013 Top Safety Picks list (which includes a heap of other vehicles) by getting "good" ratings in front, side, rollover and rear crash tests. Among safety-related goodies in the Leaf are its front and side airbags, sensored seat belts and traction-control systems for EV drivers looking to get squirrely.

Ever since Nissan cut the price of the US version by $6,400, to a base of $28,800, Leaf sales through the first four months of the year more than doubled from a year earlier to 5,476 units.
