a3 etron....could you add additional battery to extend range

[justk2017]

Hi there....probably not uncommon, but I cant find a car that is "just right":

Looks I like
Fast accelleration (9s tops ish)
50 mile electric range

I3/bclass - dont like styling
Model s - too pricey
Egolf slow
Gte/ a3 - range

Wondering if an a3/gte could have battery added (i hear its ablut 125kg)...and how much that would hit 0-60 time?

Technically, yes, you could add "more" battery

Realistically, it'll be so difficult that it's simply not worth it! "more" battery is the easy bit, just buy a similar battery from a crashed car. But, how will you get the car to work with that extra battery? Everything is calibrated and set up for one battery pack, adding another would require a significant re-calibration of a lot of the electronic control units so they 'understand' they have twice as much battery to use! (that's not impossible, but it will be very hard and expensive as you will have to reverse engineer all the control systems yourself etc)
