The trick will be in getting a charge to last long enough that it doesn’t need more frequent pit stops.
That would indeed be quite a trick. The batteries would need to get more energy-dense by more than an order of magnitude compared to the best that are available today. EVs are great for commuting and transportation where vehicle weight isn’t as important and you’re not constantly trying to go as fast as possible, but they’re a very long way from being competitive in that type of racing.
Are still significantly slower than NASCAR pit stops, and even if you could get them that fast, you’d also need to make the pit stops more frequently because you’d run out of charge faster than wearing down your tires at those speeds.
