If other companies do it then it is possible, would love to get extra range on my Chevy volt

Those volt/bolt battery packs are a really neat design, but pretty densely packed, especially the cooling system.

I know a lot of conversions that use the volt/bolt packs, but to put different batteries in a volt would likely take a lot of custom fabrication and probably compromises in interior or storage space.
