The Telsa roadster has way more torpue and just as much power as the elise, but it isn't any faster and it has severly limited range. As far as racing is concern. The recharge rate isn't that big of a deal since there isn not anything stopping them from just having a bunch of precharge battery packs staning by. Making the hybrid cars work was challenging because of the high temperatures in the batteries. Racing is going to magnify all these issues. Ultimately most mature racing series limit the power generated to limit speed and promote safety. Thous any potential gains would be negated. I seriously doubt that electric cars will be able to compete since they will have a wieght disadvantage.
