US-built 2013 LEAF will start at $28,800, 18% lower than 2012 model

Although some models are cheaper than equivalent 2012 models, the 18% reduction is for the bottom of the line model which has fewer standard features that any 2012 model. A surprising deletion from this model is cruise control, which is so important for hypermiling. And is there an EV owner anywhere who isn't a hypermiler?
