That's about 23.5 horsepower. Keep the Leaf below about 70 MPH on the freeway and it could perhaps slowly charge the battery and power the car.

The problem is EVs don't allow the vehicle to be in drive mode while charging. That's why there aren't any stories of people driving off and ripping the chargers off the wall.
