Yes, I looked at that and really tried hard to see if it would work. But
it's just too big for me. It's too long for city parking and too high to
fit in parking garages. The turning radius is amazing, though. And the
range might be ok, but I would need to know what to expect at 70 mph
with heat and defrost (but since the other parameters don't work for me,
I don't need to know the range right now).

FYI: The 136" wheelbase low-roof is the smallest Van we can convert.
If it's not loaded it gets way better mileage. Probably not 250, but
close!

For me, replacing the Leaf battery isn't worth the cost. I'd rather
put
that money into a new vehicle where I can get substantially longer
range. In other words, if I were to get 150 mile range with a new
battery (and I don't think that is possible for the 2011 Leaf), that
is
still to short for out-of-town trips so would I gain little additional
value.
My best option, if my wife agrees, is to get a small van capable of at
least 250 miles with heat and defrost on. Then we could be a one car
household. A small NEV for local errands might be worthwhile, too.
There
are no such vans available at the moment (or even large SUVs aside
from
Tesla X, which is too expensive). The closest would be Phil's
Promaster
conversions, but they are too large for my needs and (I think) not
quite
enough range.
