How does one make an electric re fueling in a <1 minute pit stop?

Electric vehicles lack stamina.

I thought of drag racing. A while back a Japanese electric vehicle bested a souped up Toyota. But against a fuel dragster I doubt if an electric could compete.

“Electric vehicles lack stamina.”

Tesla is advertising 520 mile range. That is more than most ICE cars.

All racing has classes. Formula One cars do not race against NASCAR vehicles.

You can’t run a bored and stroked hemi in NASCAR. You can’t have a 25 gallon fuel cell.

A turbocharged 911 may run the same race with a Miata but they run in different classes.

Race cars are built from the ground up. I am sure they could design a quick-swap system.
