Well of course, but efficiency man, efficiency! You need the voltage to stay nominal, smaller lighter motor can be used, smaller lighter battery can be used (if a hybrid setup is used), you get to a point where battery pack cooling/heating is not important (shedding weight again) and overall well -to -wheels efficiency is higher with higher performance cells. trust me, C rating matters.
