From an active mass (electromagnetic parts, power switches, etc) perspective, our specific power is relatively consistent from 100 kW up to 1 MW. TBD on lower or higher than that.
The biggest difference is the total mass specific power (including housing, bearings, etc) usually gets worse at much lower powers (1s-10s kW), because these components become a more significant fraction of the total mass.
The 12 kW/kg number is continuous output power / total system mass (active + inactive, including motor, inverter, gearbox, housing, bearings, etc). If you isolate just the motor to compare, it is much higher than 12 :)
We do have plans to develop a ~100 kW (maybe a bit smaller) unit in the future, but when is TBD.
