I pulled the 13kw figure from an actual dyno reading under the same speed/load conditions that one large family car used on the highway at 100km/h. I then added to that based on towing, and again based on conversions not being 100% efficient. It also doesn't hurt to have a small buffer. The car that the measurements were made on was a 1996 Ford Falcon (1550kg four door, 4L Six cylinder, 0.32 drag co-efficient, 7.5l/100km highway standard).
As for how does the volt to it? I'm assuming that it uses higher than 200v for the traction battery (I have no idea really) and it would have a separate AC speed controller for the starter/generator head.
I suppose if you had a convenient battery voltage you could just attach a bridge rectifier to a gen-set for your DC output though...
