Yep, they are absolutely incapable of going around a track, quoting from your link:

The lap itself was around 10 minutes Bridge to Gantry (in heavy traffic) but unfortunately the car went into a reduced power mode about 3 minutes in due to excess battery heat


Or what about this one?



Cuts so much power after about one minute around the track. Crosses the start line at 133mph, comes back 3 minutes later at 114mph. It is slower around that track than a Civic Si by 3 seconds!

Yes they can go fast in a straight line but they aren't a performance car.
Battery technology needs to further develop before electric cars are a viable option for the majority of the population. Current battery technology holds them back a lot.
I don't think the majority of the population tracks their cars so I think your a bit off the mark with that comment.
