If this comes through it may boost performance to have a turbocharger for better forced air intake.

Or with a tank of pure oxygen, have the EV act like it was gasoline engine on nitrous oxide.

Somebody should calculate a ballpark figure for the number of grams or kilos of oxygen that would be needed per mile for an average vehicle.
