Having looked into this in the past, the problem
with electric superchargers and why they aren't widely used is partially that doing the job of a turbo / supercharger (moving and compressing a lot of air, fast) requires both relatively high torque and relatively high speed, while not taking up much space (a consideration on motorcycles, less so on cars).
On many of its cars, it combines a turbocharger for good power at normal road speeds
with an electric supercharger to boost engine power when a car is stopped or traveling slowly.
