The Wired article you link discusses Nvidia hoping to deliver a system with lower power draw.

I think the intro kind of overstates the downside. Lots of people will be happy to pay for more fuel if it means they don't have to drive.

Extra 2.5kW for prototype cars?

I think it will halve as the tech progresses, just due to optimization. Also, no windshield means better aerodynamic possibilities that could compensate for the loss.
