Aren't electric cars bound to beat any dragster car eventually? You get max torque instantly.
As for the general public, I can’t say. I use super capacitors in the power system for my solar powered robot and I love them. Through that experience I have realized they have plenty of other applications.
Which is exactly the scenario we are discussing. Drag races are only a few seconds.
With batteries currently being less energy dense than fuel, can an electric car be faster?
Now there's more to the vehicles than just the energy supply, so I suppose if an electric car could harness battery power more efficiently (i.e. with less weight) than an ICE powered vehicle, it could be faster?
