Only the VW e-Golf and the Mercedes B Class Electric as an option (at least) has a direct heated windshield defroster. The e-Golf also has default coasting and 3 levels of selectable regen. It also has 3 levels of drive power.

The rear defroster hardly changes the range at all. So the front would be about the same.

If the Leaf dropped from 0.32 to 0.21 and also got default coasting, then I think the range could be doubled.
