It's not crazy at all: Li-ion batteries work best at more or less the same temperatures that humans find comfortable. The batteries are heated or cooled via the cabin in the PIP - you can see the two vents on the sides of the rear seats. I think the Leaf and other EVs actually have a battery heater for cold climates (may be optional depending on region).

Is it actually improving your effective range, and not just the estimation?

Just the estimation. I rarely drive to the limits of my range and when I do it's irregular driving anyways.
