1 kJ/sec is about an order of magnitude too small.. 10kW = 10kJ/sec

I worked with one of the Maxwell labs charging supplies a few years 
ago.  It was in that category, but it wouldn't have worked for a 
tesla coil.  If you shorted the output, it tripped internal 
protection, and shut down, requiring a reset.

But that IS the right idea.  I'm thinking of a purpose designed DC 
charging supply.
