The display in the cabin said 386V, if that is correct and the current was 100A then isn't that 38.6 kilowatts?!?!

Yes, that would be. The pack voltage is 386V but the current from the pack is 0 - 2 amps. The output voltage to the motor is much lower, 5 - 7 VDC at 100 amps. 500 - 700W to spin up the transmission means a slow accelerate.

At 386V i would have expected only a few amps being required to spin the motor in neutral.

The current from the pack bounces between 0 and 2 amps. Consistent with 500 - 700W

Maybe somebody else with a similar set up could comment on the neutral spin up current requirement but my guess is something is holding that motor from spinning or else a lot of that power is going somewhere other than the motor.

The numbers make sense to me, but I'd be happy to hear anyone else's experience!
