The a/h rating of the battery and it's current delivery capacity ("C" rating) would indeed be a big factor. Isn't the power rating of the motor a function of the voltage x current delivered/consumed..?? ...and in this case he mentioned 132volts...and the motor controller capable of delivering 650amps to the motor..?? This would give ~86kw...which would make sense.....you wouldn't bother if the power delivery was just 8kw..? 8kw would be lucky to move the van let alone run it at 60mph.
I play a lot with small racing multirotors/quad-copters...and the "C" rating or "current delivery" ability of the batteries can be huge....a small 4 cell 2000mah battery on a full charge, (16.8v) with a "C" rating of 90C is capable of delivering a constant 180amps, this means it's capable of delivering over 3kw or 4hp.....not bad for something weighing less than 500grams...
