2-3 seconds reduction in overall lap time once the car gets hot is a bit disappointing but not too bad / not unexpected.
Will be interested to see how the upcoming Porsche EV handle heat

The power reduction after a few laps is concerning but expected. More concerning is how fast it goes through battery. They said max 30 laps of VIR 1.5mile track. They were given two cars to perform tests and depleted both of them at the end of the morning. This is a no go for track days, there are not superchargers to go plug into between sessions. Personally think we are at least another generation, maybe two generations from electric cars being viable consumer track/daily drivers. It most likely will have to be solid state battery tech to get electric cars to that point. They are very quick on the street.
