I chose this value,as Volkswagen's new charging infrastructure is rated at this delivery rate,and considered that in the near-future,that this would not be uncommon.
When I farmed in West Texas,3-phase power was available.The landscape was dotted with oil well pump jacks,which all ran on 3-phase.
I wouldn't be surprised about ethanol-powered tractors.That was Henry Ford's original vision.
