In case it helps somebody, in preparing to remove the battery pack it occurred to me that it would probably be possible to run new wiring between the rear mounted charger area and the engine bay without dropping the battery. Could be handy for charger upgrades or other mods. I haven't tried it, but it certainly looks feasible to run an electrician's fish tape though the routing channel. You'd have to remove the rear seat, and jacking up the car would certainly help.
Here's the view of where the charger wiring descends through the floor:
Here's the view of the same from the underside with the battery still in place:
Here's the view looking back up the routing channel from the front, again with the battery still in place:
And here's what the channel looks like with the battery removed:
It might get a little sticky in places, but you also might be able to open the battery disconnect access panel from inside the car to help feed the wire/fish tape through.
