Fair - I don't own a car myself, but the US DOT reports 24.4 mpg in 2018 for cars, SUVs, vans, and light trucks shorter than 121 inches. (This is an estimate of vehicles on the road, not 2018 model year.)

If we use a 2020 model year for passenger cars of ~40mpg and a more conservative 11,500 miles per year, it comes out to 1.1kW.

This definition excludes the best-selling vehicle.
