EVs have been around for a long time, and the Leaf is not the first "mass-produced EV" as the article claims. In 1996, GM produced the EV1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_EV1

Electric Vehicles have been around for about 100 years or more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle#History

The Leaf is the first mass-produced EV for sale that consumers can actually buy and own. The EV1 could only be leased.
