Yes. Morning coffee, perhaps?

Surely you are aware of, just for example, the high performance Tesla Model S with a 100kWh battery and ~800hp (over 600kW) motor output.

So, that little “h” matters. You cannot directly compare values of differing units and arrive at reasonable conclusions. In this case, you made the mistake of comparing power over a quantum of time vs. power at an instant (for starters - there is much more to the story, but it’s out of scope here).
