The Nissan LEAF has been gunning for affordable electric vehicle (EV) (and Full Battery Electric Vehicle – BEV) segment dominance for over a decade now. As a result, the used car market features some great deals. For instance, the 2013 and 2015 Nissan LEAF don’t just constitute a used EV bargain; they might be one of the best bets for a cheap, small car under $10,000.

Standard features include a 6-way manual driver’s seat, 4-way manual front passenger’s seat, trip computer (instant and average energy consumption, driving time, outside temperature and autonomy range), Automatic Temperature Control (ATC), center console storage and the 3.6 kW onboard charger.

The Quick Charge Package ( upgrade only) includes the bigger 6.6 kW onboard charger boost box

The Quick Charge Package was an optional upgrade available for the Leaf S model.

This — OPTIONAL — package offered IF/when installed :

A 6.6 kW onboard charger (upgrading from the standard 3.3 kW)
— A CHAdeMO DC fast charging port

Check the vehicle out closely for this upgrade …
This upgrade allowed for faster Level 2 charging compared to the standard 3.3 kW charger.

With the 6.6 kW charger, the Leaf could charge about twice as quickly

the 2013 Nissan LEAF S model does not have an internal combustion engine included; this is not a Hybrid EV – there is no gas guzzling Engine inside it what-so-ever …

the Battery charge re-generates while Braking and has an onboard charging system – the base model S comes with with regenerative braking; which is a standard feature on Electric Vehicles – EV’s.

“plug it into a regular wall outlet” — I now know the car would have taken about 8 hours to charge

the 2013 Nissan Leaf S EV model was not produced as an Extended Range model – it’s a grocery getter

… “surprisingly swift acceleration to the eerily quiet of the (non-existent) engine”

  • passive air cooled battery pack; not active thermal management
  • — no ICE — internal combustion engine —

the 2013 Nissan Leaf S EV without the “Fast Charge” boost option charge on a the Level 2 charger is considerably quicker than a regular wall outlet

24 kWh battery pack, providing an EPA-estimated range of about 75 miles for the Traction power drive system .

many use their solar chargers

third party battery packs or replacements ?! — current unknown territory but active discussions online —

The Nissan LEAF offers a number of charging options. A charge port is located in the front body for the 220V charger and portable trickle charge cable (110V). A charge port light and lock has been added for 2013. The available Quick Charge Port (standard on SL, optional on S model, SV) allows charging to 80 percent capacity in 30 minutes at public charging stations using a DC fast charger.

There is also a standard photovoltaic solar panel spoiler on SL models ( not on the S model ), which supports charging of the 12-volt battery for vehicle accessories.

the changes for the 2013 model year is the addition of a new entry-level S trim level ( vs SV + SL trim ) AllElectric_2013NissanLEAF_ModelS

The center console area includes the palm shifter (inspired by a PC mouse) for the “by wire” drive selector.

All trim levels include heated seats – it takes less electricity to warm the seats than the whole interior, it reduces the demand placed on the standard HVAC system, thus improving the Leaf’s range

The Leaf S base model is fitted with a 3.6-kW onboard charger, while the SV and the SL now get a 6.6-kW charger. With this upgraded charger, those Leafs’ can be Fully Charged in about (4) four Hours on a 220-volt outlet. The quick-charge port—optional on the SV and standard on the SL—allows owners to make use of 480-volt public charging stations.

the base model S does not have the Solar charger insert and electronics … for the accessory 12 Volt battery

the 107-hp electric motor and the batteries remain unchanged, the Leaf’s range is said to improve somewhat thanks in part to a new heater system that is said to use less energy.

You’re … basking in quiet, the regenerative brakes are as good as in any hybrid, which is to say only slightly disconnected from reality.

… not all 110-volt plugs are seen as equal in the eyes of an EV. The charge cord’s design mandated some precarious placemen

.. Eco mode ? what is that ? — the 2011 Nissan Leaf shifted into eco mode, without any tunes or the comfort of climate control … the price of clean(er) air and water

.. way back in the Nissan Leaf 2011 — we’ve thus far achieved a figure of 80 MPGe, or 2.4 miles per kWh. That falls short of the 97-MPGe and 2.9 miles-per-kWh numbers we achieved in our first Leaf experience, as well as the car’s EPA estimates.

electric cars are inherently less efficient in charging and discharging when it’s cold

the car has asked for no oil changes so far, because it needs no such service

Three (3) different wheel designs are offered for 2013: the 16-inch steel wheels with full wheel covers for LEAF S, 5-spoke 16-inch aluminum-alloy for LEAF SV and new split 5-spoke 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels for LEAF SL. OEM Bridgestone Ecopia 205/55R16 all-season tires are used with the S and SV grades, while 215/50R17 Michelin Energy Saver all-season tires are standard on SL.

The bright high tech instrument panel design – which is dominated by a twin combination meter display in front of the driver and a center “floating” C-stack with a 4.3-inch color LCD display (S grade).

The digital “eyebrow” display at the top of the instrument panel provides high visibility for the Eco indicator and speedometer, while the lower liquid crystal meter display houses the new percentage style state-of charge meter, power meter, battery temperature gauge, multi-function display, remaining energy gauge, capacity level gauge and distance to empty display.

— A 7.0-inch display is standard on SV and SL grades —

The advanced lithium-ion battery pack carries an industry-competitive warranty of 8 years or 100,000 miles. Under an expanded New Electric Vehicle Limited Warranty, Nissan will protect against capacity loss in LEAF batteries that fall below nine bars, of the available 12 bars displayed on the vehicle’s battery capacity gauge, for the first five years or 60,000 miles in the United States, whichever comes first.

All LEAF models come with a standard portable trickle charge cable.

the 2013 LEAF’s BEV – 24 kWh lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery is comprised of 48 compact modules of four cells each (192 cells total), which allows a high degree of packaging flexibility. The batteries are designed to maximize drive time and minimize charging time.

The battery was developed by the Automotive Energy Supply Corporation (AESC), a joint venture of Nissan and NEC. Unlike conventional cylindrical batteries, the thin, compact laminated cells offer more flexibility in design applications. The battery powers a high-response 80kW AC synchronous motor, rated at 107 horsepower and 187 lb-ft of torque, which drives the front wheels through a single speed reducer. Unlike a conventional internal combustion engine, LEAF has 100 percent of its torque available from start, delivering smooth, consistent acceleration and the driving feel similar to a conventional V6 engine.

To clarify:

2013 Nissan Leaf S: Did not have the “B” drive mode
2013 Nissan Leaf SV and SL: Did have the “B” drive mode

  • new available “B” drive mode that increases regenerative braking during deceleration

The “B” mode, when available, allows for stronger regenerative braking when the driver lifts off the accelerator, which can help extend the vehicle’s range and reduce wear on the conventional brake system.
For the 2013 Leaf S model, drivers would have had to rely on the standard level of regenerative braking, which was still present but not as pronounced as in the “B” mode available on higher trims.

Total vehicle weight – 3,256

According to iSeeCars’ lifespan study, a used Nissan LEAF has a potential lifespan of around 98,081 miles. However, the metrics reflect average odometer readings in some higher-mileage examples and do not indicate the maximum potential mileage.

In the context of a 2013 Nissan Leaf, SOH stands for “State of Health.” It’s a measure of the battery’s overall condition and capacity compared to when it was new.
For a 2013 Nissan Leaf:

SOH (State of Health): 70%
This means the battery has retained 70% of its original capacity.
Battery Bars: 10 out of 12
The Leaf displays battery capacity using 12 bars total. Having 10 bars indicates the battery is in relatively good condition but has experienced some degradation.

The “State of Health” — called SOH — of 70% with 10 bars remaining on the Dash meter is quite typical for a 2013 Leaf, considering its age. This level of battery health should still provide a usable range for many drivers, though it will be (way) less than when the car was new.

There is discussion online about viability of a ‘possible’ 2013-2015 Nissan Leaf upgrade to have a 24, 30, 40 or 62 kWh pack installed. Do research and make your own your own decisions. We have no idea and do not nor can not advocate this path to keep the car viable for many many MORE years into the future.
