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.

Another small (if rather more difficult to live with!) would be to
convert the original paintwork to a rougher (Matt) finish, the purpose
being to reduce the laminar flow development over the body... A very
minor -and expensive- improvement(only difference at highway speeds)
but almost certainly no-one else has it!

I had some thoughts on Improving the CD of a Leaf. Moon hubcaps &
fender skirts. I was thinking these two simple additions might help.
Any other ideas other than a tail cone. Lawrence Rhodes
