There actually is an electric supercharger out there that works. It uses multiple batteries to run a multi-hp motor connected to a compressor. The car "stores" energy in the batteries using the alternator. When you need a boost, you flip a switch and the compressor kicks in.

It is not a bilge blower or leaf blower. It will make real pressure.

These will actually work!
