Just watched the new Jay Leno's garage episode, where they actually have an engineer from Porsche accompany. He and Jay talk about the new electric car in-depth. Seems 200 miles is the current range, and this is, as you know best-case (which is likely about 65-70 MPH, and no a/c and no heat).
Anyway, the Porsche guy said 22 minutes from 5% to 80%, if you get to use a 800 Volt charging system (if one actually exists on your route), and if the battery isn't too hot, or too cold.
Seems like it would very likely need two stops to go 450 miles (with no AC at 60-70 mph). Lots of ifs, in real life. My Benz can do the 450 miles in one hop, if I stick to 75 mph.

I feel pretty confident in my math, that I'd kill the advanced Porsche even in my slowest, thirstiest vehicle.

*My point is, for longer journeys, even the most advanced EV you can buy seems pretty far behind in the real world.

Sorry I misunderstood. You said race so I assumed no speed limit. So with the Taycan having a top speed of 160, it is a different "race" than you are suggesting.

Also, just for the discussion, Porsche has claimed and a recent comparison confirmed, the Taycan has a real world range much closer to in the upper 200s. It just apparently sucks on the EPA schedule.
