    Where on earth did you get 50 kW from? My car isn’t very efficient and it’s more like 18 kW on the freeway.

    With an average consumption of 50 kW a first gen Nissan Leaf would last like 20 minutes. They were short range, but not that short.

      Haha, I knew I was making a mistake when I was writing that figure.

      ICE efficiency is around 22% so 50 kW × 0.22 = 11 kW constant.

      Your figure of 18 kW is more pragmatic/empirical, so I defer to your measurement :)
