The €29,995 price is after the Government grant of €5,000 for EVs, a special incentive. There will be no separate leasing of the battery.
There will be just one specification for the car, which will be shown in a Roadshow through Nissan's dealer network during the autumn.
It includes alloys, sat-nav, full set of airbags, cruise control and ESC.
Nissan Ireland estimate the running costs at around €230 a year, depending on electricity prices.
The first 2,000 EV customers will get a special charging point set up at home by the ESB, free of charge.
Other incentives for EVs are currently being considered by the Government.
