Electricity source for magnetoplasmadynamic engines in KSP
I'm attempting to create some cool long distance ships with the new hydrogen+electricity engines but quickly realized how ridiculous these engines are in terms of electricity intake. I managed to use the Power Distribution Unit from a Mod that stores 120,000 electric charge but even then, the large LF-9 Engine takes up nearly 3000 charge per second! Normal solar panels are almost useless if I want to sustain the engine for long periods so my question is, are there better electricity harnessers than the large stock solar panels? Maybe some mod with crazy nuclear reactors that produce massive amounts of power?

What does electricity do in KSP?
Electric charge, also called electricity or energy, is a resource that is needed to operate various parts in the game. It is critical for unmanned spacecraft, which are generally uncontrollable without any electric charge. However, manned spacecraft usually also need some electricity, mainly for reaction wheels.How do you use ion engines in KSP?
Xenon gas is a resource that powers only ion engines. With a density of only 0.1 kg/unit this is the lightest resource after electric charge.Can You Use The Smallest Engine to Get to Eve in Kerbal Space Program?
