It's pretty awesome and I'd drive the snot out of it. Does it mean I'm ready to give up my fossil fueled vehicles? No, but I'm old so it won't matter to me anyway.

This particular setup is nothing that hasn't already been done. As for any "street legal production car" capable of making it into the 8's. Already done. AMS Alpha 12 GT-R, 8.82 1/4 mile.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

I'm thinking an electric vehicle would make an excellent bracket car. Think about it, the air isn't really going to affect it. There would be no gear changes to miss or converter slip to change the ET.

Yeah. Lots of fun to flip a switch.
The fun of a car for me are all your senses being stimulated. The noise, smell, feel, sight and then the little nuances of a fuel powered whatever.
I'll save the electric motors for my leaf blowers. This exactly! Get me near an SR71 Blackbird ready to take off then you got it! No electric anything does anything for me. I remember when my dad bought an electric lawn mower in the late 60's, I hated cutting grass after that even more... 
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I watched an eFSAE car go around an autocross and that was enough for me to be disinterested. Sure they are FAST , but all you hear are the tires begging for mercy. No shifts, no rev-matched downshifts, no bouncing off the limiter when it breaks loose...boring!

The Tesla Model S P100D w/Ludicrous mode is around the same or a tick faster zero to 60 than the Demon, and probably a lot easier to get that number out of consistently.

People already leave the stands in droves after the fuel cars run. Why? It's boring to most. If electric cars are the way of the future, you might as well shut down all race tracks, and play with slot cars.
