I suspect these vehicles are speed limited not power limited.
The leaf is speed limited to 94mph, but is only drawing about 40kw.
At 94mph the motor is spinning around 10,000rpm and will explode if it goes much faster.
So the speeds of many of these vehicles is not a limit of power and aerodynamic drag.
