Unlike an ICE, a more powerful electric drivetrain uses _less_ energy
under normal driving than a marginal HP drivetrain.
A large inverter and motor run more efficiently at low power because
they have larger conductors and less internal resistance than a smaller
inverter and motor. Driven
Don't knock vehicles with limited power, there is absolutely no
objective *need* for a family car with 400+HP.
My 1994 US Electricar (S10 factory conversion) has a 50kW induction
motor and a 250A limited inverter.
Original design had a 312V lead acid pack, but due to the inverter's

Yup. KW measures the battery's ability to deliver power, not its energy
storage capacity.
But who knows? Maybe some Leaf owners really
I don't know where to source a 40kWh (note it is not kw, but kWh,
kilowatt-hour) battery for a Leaf but I seem to recall there was some
connector change when they went to the "lizard battery" from the first
one. You may want to research that part, too.
