At what voltage is the 5 kW output?
What do you mean by "Capacity 14kg"?
$5000 is pretty expensive for a generator, even if it could handle Level 2 charging; what is the advantage of a turbine versus a conventional ICE generator?

The only genset efficient enough to justify in a leaf is listed above, anything else is too thirsty.
My guess the purpose of the turbine is to increase efficiency, military turbines can go upwards of 40% eff, small gas gensets are typically 10-20% (aka terrible)
The real questions are
1. Can it run while driving
2. How many GPH vrs watts does it do?
Needless to say a cleaner fuel is not cleaner if you need to burn a lot more of it right?

Is this intended to be a generator that can fit in the trunk? 50 kg is pretty heavy to be lifting in and out of the trunk. Or is it intended to fit on a trailer? Price (provisionally) is 5,000 usd...
