Cars can typically stop quite a bit faster than they can accelerate. This is especially true for two wheel drive cars because two wheel drive cars still have four wheel brakes. To brake as fast as the traction limit on the tires, which is what you get from disc brakes, you would need four wheel drive and then bigger than normal electric motors and everything else to be able to absorb that much power that fast. And then the battery would get really hot, especially if it was small.
