I do not know who does your math. The email states "Leaf gets 4.5 miles per kw at 55mph more or less depending on wind." Therefore, 1000 W / 4.5 miles = 222 W per mile. This appears to be a little low to me. However, if it is accurate, you would need 222 W to go one mile.

So, to drive continuously at 55mph you would need a minimum input of 12,220 watts.
