43 MJ / 8 = 5.375x more or 5.375x35 = 3: min 13: sec almost an entire lap at the average power of 306 hp (which is a lot since they don't need that value at corners and slower parts )

400hp engine + 306 electric = 706 hp average ! (a LOT for average)

They could achieve much more than 43MJ per lap, but there is no way to recharge a battery of 43MJ (12KWh) in less than 4 minutes !!.. no way

So perhaps 16 MJ... which might yet come too short
You really need to learn to read the archives on this forum

11 laps on the internal combustion engine (400 hp, at LMP2 pace), during which the battery is recovered with braking. Followed by 1 fully electric lap (330 hp, at between LMP2 and GTE pace).

Hence the name Zero Emission on Demand.
