A "ton of electricity" is still a hell of a lot less energy than the amount of gasoline the car consumes doing the same amount of work. The only reason the batteries would get consumed so quickly is due to the fact that they only hold like 2 gallons equivalent worth of energy, 1 gallon or less for the Nissan Leaf. As energy density slowly improves for batteries, electric cars will fully supplant gasoline vehicles for all racing and drag racing due to the superior characteristics of electric drivetrains.
