I'm looking at a 2013 SV Leaf for my father (or me). I currently have a 2017 S so I know the basics but I have a few detailed questions about the SV that I'm hoping someone can answer for me. I can probably find all the answers in time by searching but I'm hoping some friendly 2013 SV owner can answer them all in one shot. So here goes:
The car in question is a 2013 SV. Build date is 06/2013 so 'Wolf Pack'
1) It does not have a CHAdeMO port. Does this mean it has a 3.3kW charger? Does this mean 16A max at either 120V or 240V?
2) Does it have the same crappy headlights that are on my 2017 S?
3) How much to do I have to worry about the telematics? I doubt it has the SD card so I will probably never use that but do I have to worry about battery drain or anything ? Can I just completely disable this feature or can it be revived cheaply?
4) How bad is the 12V charging algorithm on this year and model? I've never had any trouble with my 2017 but I can't remember how susceptible the 2013 MY was.
5) It only has one key. I assume it would be a big-buck purchase to buy another key (dealer only?) or is there another path?
7) I forgot to check for a backup camera. Does a 2013 SV (base SV if that exists....) have a camera for reverse?
8) Does this car have the 'charge to 80% feature'?
I think that's it. Thanks for any help and mods feel free to move this if needed.
