If they are really going to install fans to generate downforce, they will need space that the battery could otherwise occupy. The lower weight of a smaller battery is also beneficial for acceleration.

Based on the specs, I wouldn't compare the (non-existing) roadster to regular electric cars, but rather to something like the McMurtry Spéirling, which also has active downforce. It's not about range, but acceleration and cornering speed.
