Yep, you seem to be confused by KW vs kWh.
kWh is a battery
KW is a charger
no one is talking about a 100 kw battery they are talking about a 100KW charger for a 60 kWh battery.
You'll have to get used to the KW vs kWh before you can keep up with a discussion like this.
not sure your statement clears up very much.
kwh = killowatt-hours and is related to the amount of charge stored in a battery. ICE version; gallons of gas in the tank.
KW = kilowatt is related to the level of power. There is not really a true gasoline equivalent since KW relates to both rate of power in and out so the "in" could be gallons per minute that can be put in by a gas station while power "out" could be related to the horsepower rating of the engine.
