In antzcrashing 's chart, this is roughly equivalent to a 100 KWh battery pack, which Google tells me is around 130 HP. But that's KW, not KWh so am I missing something here?

So not quite there yet but love the progress in such a short period of time! We might be on target to see something like this in 7-10 years!
I am not sure there is a simple direct relation or derivation of KW (HP) numbers with KWH, the first is related to power output (motor) and the second is related to energy storage capacity (battery).
