In Seattle they have electric car drag racing; they accelerate faster than fuel dragsters and a higher end speed.

"and a higher end speed"

Do you have a link for that? All I found is 185 mph cars that were somewhat ironically cooled with dry ice.

I seriously doubt it. Acceleration of top fuelers is limited by tire technology, not by the propulsion unit. They have so much horsepower (>10,000) that they have to slip the clutch coming out of the hole, else the whole run would go up in tire smoke. And on the far end of the track they deliberately short out cylinders as they near the finish line at reduce wheelspin AT 300 MPH. Show me an electric car that can outrun that and I'll kiss your toches on the town square at noon on Sunday.
