that question is on point as I am about to head out to pick up a second battery pack just like this one
let me start off by saying that there are two options
Option 1 - will allow me to run two of them in parallel meaning we add up the amp hours (but the voltage stays the same aka 350 volts) so I will essentially double my capacity from 9.1 kWh to 18.2 kWh to increase my range (this will put me in the Chevy Volt battery size range)
and I can keep adding battery packs until I literally run out of room on the truck
Option 2 - BMW makes a newer pack using more bettter battery technology that is exactly precisely the same physical size but they increased the capacity from 9.1 kWh to 12 so I can simply replace mine with the newer one, it will bolt right up to where this one went and hook right up with the existing connectors, (two of these would add up to 24 kWhs and would put me in the Nissan Leaf battery size range) hope that helps
