Even a small block chevy would be more efficient.

Capstone turbines aren't exactly cheap nor do they fall off the backs of trucks. I'm guessing he has a promotional deal with Capstone in exchange for the turbine. He certainly doesn't need a 30kw generator to keep the Leaf rolling down the highway. That company has been burning investor money for over a decade. Their air bearing technology is novel and thats about it.
