Maybe 10 minutes max - based upon my anecdotal observations on a track day. A P90D was there (I was in my 2015 F80 in the same run group).
For the first lap or two - it did pretty good (one of the slower cars in the group - but no way of knowing how much of that was limited to the driver vs. car or any proportionate combination of the two). After a couple of laps - the car was WAY slower than even the next slowest car in the group. It then had to charge for the entire next session - and I did not see it return for the rest of the track day.
I think the day is coming where the pure electric cars of tomorrow (at least the performance-oriented electric cars) will have the endurance and stamina of today's best ICE cars, but with even more performance. I just think it's going to be at least another 5-10 years until that might happen...
