I really don't care what they believe. Knowledge makes for much better decisions. So let's see how plausible this "belief" really is. Efficient small car (well done light conversion) 250Wh/mi * 360mi = 90kWh available battery capacity * 50% = 45kWh 45kWh in 10 minutes => 270W. Seems legit. Typical compact EV (Nissan Leaf) 340Wh/mi (EPA rating 2012 Leaf) * 360mi = 122.4kWh available batt capacity * 50% = 61.2kWh 61.2kWh in 10 minutes => 367.2kW. Just makes it. Bloatmobile EV (Tesla Model X) 420Wh/mi (see https://www.edmunds.com/tesla/model-x/2016/long-term-road-test/2016- tesla-model-x-monthly-update-for-january-2017.html) 420Wh/mi * 360mi = 151.2kWh available battery capacity * 50% = 75.6kWh 75.6kWh in 10 minutes => 453.6kW. Nope.
