Ha, yup, I used the wrong "brake". Silly me. The point is that power delivery and energy capacity of an energy conversion system are two different things and the author's incorrect usage of power to refer to energy is pretty egregious and is spreading an idea that is false - that electric motor vehicles deliver less power than combustion engine vehicles. That's my issue.
One only need look at the volumetric and mass energy density of diesel fuel and electric energy storage options to see that electric vehicles CURRENTLY store significantly less than diesel fuel tanks. That's well known and not a shock to anyone. Energy desnity of electric power storage (batteries, or even H2 fuel cells) will improve over time.
