Leaf will come in special Cold Weather specification trims - later in 2011. From earlier specs, the package might have the following apart from a battery heater.

Infact, I speculated earlier that - this is the reason Nissan pushed cold weather states to fall-2011 ordering time. They will probably have the cold weather spec trims by then.

This is what Nissan says ...cold weather package
- temperature management
- heated seats
- heated steering wheel
- heated mirror
- HVAC duct to rear
Infact, if you search "nissan leaf Cold Weather Spec" you will get various sites that list this trim. Obviously no other information - but confirmation that at later date Nissan will sell a cold weather trim of leaf.For prolonged operation in below freezing climates, Nissan strongly recommends a trim level with Cold Weather specifications that includes a battery heater (late availability). Vehicles not ordered with Cold Weather specifications cannot be retrofitted later.
