Correction: It won't drain in a second. But my point is the same. We don't really have 1 HP spark plugs out there :)

Rough estimates I've seen say the starter motor is about that, though. (Not that I can tell real pages from GenAI ad content farms, I'm not a petrolhead).

I'd agree "it's all semantics", but yours are confusing me :P

(And for energy content, like for like is comparing the size of the fuel tank with the capacity of the battery, but cars aren't 90% fuel by weight).
