I considered making an electric supercharger for my mechanical engineering thesis project. However, I gave up when I figured out the power consumption rates. Basically, an electric supercharger would probably pull more power than most alternators can provide. So continous opperation was out, but for short term boost (used similar to nitrous) on a small engine (like an I4) there was a little bit of potential. But for the most part, its just a bad idea.
