I hope not, because it would limit the overall COP to about 10.

The mechanism that Ken himself suggested (AFAIK), is that an EV could contain a few embedded ions, such that as the EV was accelerated under a few keV, the ions would acquire MeV energies due to their larger mass (Ion mass is thousands of times an electron mass). (The ions gain the same speed as the electrons because they are imbedded in the electron cluster.)
