This guy actually makes real electric superchagers, but their power draw is similar to that of three starter motors. It takes thousands of watts to pump several hundred CFM of air at more than several PSI. The weight of the batteries and motors makes it a bit impractical compared to a turbo or regular supercharger.

I was reading about electrically assisted turbos and how they take so much power to help the spool that you can only do it once for 3 full seconds every 30 seconds or so because of how much electricity it actually takes to power them. Not 100% sure on the specs, but it was insane...that was just to get boost off the line too, then the exhaust gases take over!
