Interesting read in Hot Rod this month: Using an electric motor to spin up a large turbo to reduce lag. Apparently F1 uses it and now its coming to some new cars on the street in 2 to 3 years: https://www.hotrod.com/articles/e-turbo-electric-assist-turbocharger/ Then you use the motor to generate power back to your 48v battery...

That 48 volt power system and the use of an electric supercharger/turbine to force feed pressurized air to reduce turbo lag is already being used on straight 6 and v8 turbocharged 2020-2021 Mercedes-Benz vehicles. I sell the German stuff for a job but drive my 455 powered 69 Buick gs400 convert to work. Everyone trips! The technology really works and makes turbo lag minimal.
