Yes, the Leaf S only has the resistance heater / defroster available. My sister-in-law's 2012 has averaged ~70 miles range in the winter. The '15 has heated seats all around, and the steering wheel is heated, and the outside mirrors are heated.
So, if you dress for winter, the only time you have to use anything is for the defroster.
My spouse's round trip is ~44 miles and there is no need for charging at work.
My Mom drove Forest last Monday, during the cold rain storm we had (~1.5" of rain that day) and she did see how to turn on the defroster, and so she had the heat and A/C on (nearly?) full for much of her drive. I drove the last ~25 miles carefully, but I did have to also use the defroster some. That charge went ~70 miles with about 12 miles left (2 bars).
