You must mean 30kWh or 40kWh (kilowatt hours).  Hardly anyone these days 
would buy a 3400lb car that only produced 40-55 horsepower (30-40kW).

Saying "my EV gets 4 miles per kilowatt" is like saying "My ICEV gets 36 
miles per horsepower."  It's meaningless.

IMO, this kW vs kWh confusion wouldn't be a problem if, 20 or 30 years ago, 
all of us in the EV world had gotten into the habit of stating EV battery 
capacity in megajoules.  (1 kWh == 3.6 MJ)  

So it goes.
