A magnitude 7 earthquake releases approximately 5 PJ over less than a minute, so let's say 100TW. A Tesla supercharger provides 120KW, so even if the braking system is equivalent, you'd need 1B cars.

Wow. I really thought there would be more energy in an earthquake. That's just like a smallish nuke.
