I have been reading about this third party expansion pack for the Nissan Leaf (for 2011 to 2014). It is $6,500 in cost. They claim to be able to double the range of your Nissan Leaf. I personally think adding 660 pounds of batteries to a Nissan Leaf that only has a 950 pound weight limit is pushing it, but if you were to only add 400 pounds lithium ion batteries it would expand the range to around 112 miles on a 100% charge with all new batteries.
Take a look and give me your opinions.

Edit: I calculate Nissan Leaf possible range differently than Nissan does. Nissan would probably put the range with the third party expanded battery at up to 134 miles. I do 84% of what Nissan says is the range and that is generally around what you get in real life (unless you are driving about 40 miles per hour on a level surface without heating or air conditioning).
