You must have missed the point of my post entirely, unless using 64,000 watts of power somehow won't affect range. I'm no EE, that's for sure, but I think it might have more than a 200 foot impact on range. Here's closer to what I mean (warning, the language used is offensive!):



Oftentimes, such vehicles are ONLY used for SPL competitions, and it seems that an EV would be better suited for these vehicles, given the energy storage required....
