While it’s theoretically possible, it’s not cost effective. It would cost more to swap all of the relevant parts, reprogram the car’s modules, change the as-built data on the servers, etc. than it would to sell the car and purchase a same year extended battery car. ?‍

No, as I said, the wiring is different. The horsepower and torque figures are not the same between the standard range and extended range versions of the RWD and AWD models, respectively, despite using the same motors. This is because the extended range battery sends more power. This is not plug and play like a portable cell phone charger.
