Robert Llewellyn is lovely! He agreed to drive me at 135mph for this video, and I was in a remote controlled car that he drove over on his channel. Go see: https://youtu.be/LsLJasd1wEE !

And thank you to the physicists I pestered about this one. For a definitive, complicated, physics-based answer, see Luboš Motl's post here, which a couple of people referred to: http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/34421/does-the-mass-of-a-batterys-change-when-charged-discharged

And, of course, thank you to our wonderful camera crew: Matt Gray, http://mattg.co.uk or http://twitter.com/unnamedculprit, and Mark Hankins from Hankin Films.
