Some of the fastest dragsters ever were electric powered.

Charge 100 liters of water using a 100kw electrical heater for 40 minutes = 214mph in 2.5 seconds!!!

That is 67 kwh of energy input, less than a fully charged tesla.

214 mph in 2.5 sec: water-powered record stands the test of time

Of course the performance is irrelevant, crowds are more interested in noise and smell :/
