Unlike an ICE, a more powerful electric drivetrain uses _less_ energy
under normal driving than a marginal HP drivetrain.
A large inverter and motor run more efficiently at low power because
they have larger conductors and less internal resistance than a smaller
inverter and motor. Driven side by side, a very powerful EV will be far
more energy efficient (Watts per mile) than a marginally powered EV.
Up to the point where the weight from a larger battery, heavier
wires/cases and structures, etc increase rolling resistance....so don't
go overboard...
