You could but usually you have a big alternator to charge 2 batteries 1 for the car and 1 for the turbo, alternately (pun intended) they could have a single battery and have a voltage cutoff for the turbo so it does not impact other vehicle systems. The turbo would run as long as it has power. So its great for daily driving and light track use. But it does not have to multiple/rapid heavy use sustain that conventional turbos do.

What they do have is really fast spooling rates...which (if mapped right) would give you 100% pressure at take off.
