The Leaf EVs will be trialled over five years with the cars in 180 households for three months at a time.
Nissan boss Dan Thompson says he hopes it will be the beginning of similar co-operation with other governments around Australia ahead of the launch of the Leaf early next year.
"It's important to get feedback on what it's like to live with a 100 per cent electric vehicle," he says.
The Leaf will be available early next year with a price tag a bit over $40,000.
Nissan also showcased the fresh face of its 2012 Murano SUV, arriving in September.
It features newly designed grille, bumper, headlights, 18-inch alloys, roof rails and the addition of rear privacy glass.
They come with rain-sensing wipers, while the ST model adds fog lamps, Bose sound system, reversing camera and heated front seats as standard.
The ST will cost $47,990 and the Ti $58,930.
