This is false.
This year we were having problems tripping our main breaker, and did a fair number of tests pushing against a wall. With a not-quite-full battery and the compressor running (i.e. pretty reasonable in-match conditions), we were only drawing ~50 amps per motor on a 6CIM drive when stalled.
