A leaf gets ~4 miles per kwh. So 10 hp will only sustain you if you are driving 30 miles in an hour.
Probably a bit better on the highway than it is in stop and go traffic...unless aero drag is enough to exceed the waste of acceleration and braking, which I doubt even on something with decent regen braking.
Calculating how much farther you would get is a lot like calculating compound interest vs payments...but anyway, you'd not quite double your range if you added a 10hp engine pusher if you were traveling at 60mph.
(Which is what I said before without having to calculate anything!)
