I thought the Leaf used a water heater and a heater core..... at any rate I saw a diy project where a guy replace his i-MiEV heater with a kerosene heater.

What about the cabin heating? If you have an older model (I have 2011), it's resistive heating. One recent day, I got just 45 miles of range before hitting 1 bar (outside temp around 45F). A lot of that poor range was due to climate control (including defrost). I did a quick google search but didn't see any posts on how to upgrade the heater to a heat pump. Don't even know if it's possible without a good deal of customizing and ripping out stuff. However, if possible, I think it would be a good gain for in-city trips where air drag is not so much an issue. Another plus would be, I presume, quicker supply of heat. The stock heater takes nearly 10 minutes to warm up the cabin.
