Except if you want a sports car!

I would have thought if you want a sports car with good performance, then electric is the vehicle of choice.  Even a boring family saloon with electric power is going to be fast:
Tesla Roadster = 1.9 sec 0-60
Ferrari 812 Superfast = 2.9 sec
Tesla Model 3 = 3.1 sec
Porsche Cayman = 4.7 sec
Skoda Octavia VRS = 6.7 sec
Kia E-Niro = 7.5 sec

Most of those are fast cars, not sports cars. Except for Ferrari and Porsche which would be great but way too expensive! I like light rwd sports cars. 

Still, using "not sporty enough" as a reason to dismiss electric vehicles doesn't really stand up.
Tesla roadster (1.9 sec) beats the Ferrari (2.9)
Tesla 3 Performance (3.1) beats the BMW M2 Competition (4.4)

The M2 competition goes round the Nurburgring in 7:52, over a minute faster than Model 3 performance 9:00

I am. The current 2nd fastest vehicle round the Nurburgring ever was battery powered.

That's non road legal cars, you can't buy them. If you look at the relevant category of production road legal cars there aren't any EVs in the top 100 (think the fastest is Taycan in the 111th spot).

Well thats several pages about sports cars where sports cars hardly get mentioned.
