Can everything just be run off of the battery? Lights and everything?
Yea, it's just the factory heater cable. The actuating lever is to the left of the parking brake handle in that year I think.

You should be able to run everything off the factory battery... but you'll need to do something with the turn signals and stop lights. Like many cars, they don't work without the engine running in VW's. Other EV builder must have a general solution for the minor problem.
