Thanks for all the replies. I guessed it would probably not be as simple swap, but doesn't hurt to ask (most of the time).

I am confused by the statements that there would be zero gains and no economy improvements. I understand that there would be a weight penalty, but it would surely be less than adding a passenger to the car.

My daily drive has a mix of urban and motorway (highway) driving, and so the battery is frequently charged to max (80ish %). The battery capacity currently isn't sufficient to complete all of my town driving, so I assumed that a larger capacity would help this part of the journey.

Again - thanks for the responses.
