If we could develop a battery that in essence is nothing more than a capacitor, and has the same charge capacity as a battery, we could do it. It would have to be far more dense than even the supercapacitors we have today are, tho.
Batteries as we currently know them will always have problems with heat and life. It's how physics work. Even capacitors as we know them have a (long but) finite life.

I think they were or are looking into that kind of EV for sports car racing.

Yes - capacitors have increased capacity by leaps the last few years.
