Capacitors make a larger pulse instantly available, thus reduce the required charging source.

I made no claim at all but that the fires were not high intensity in most locations where houses and stores were burned, and that is supported by the testimony of most residents.

Caoacitors do not produce energy, they only store it. The amount of energy needed is 2.5 MW (or double) to melt one wheel per second. If you store energy for 10 seconds using 1/10 the power source, then you will melt one wheel in one second, but you will have to store energy (doing nothing) for 10 seconds before you can melt the next wheel in one second. You are assuming they can lower the power requirements and weight by lowering the duty cycle. True. But a lower duty cycle means spending a lot more time in the air.

You made plenty of claims. You claimed that all four wheels of cars were melted and that could not be explained by your red herring embers. Obviously some cars will ignite from embers, and some cars that burn completely will generate enough heat to melt the wheels and some cther metal components. You also claimed that houses were set on fire from the air because there was no high intensity fire in Paradise. It's true there was no high intensity fire in Paradise, but most houses can be lit from embers and if lit will burn completely since nobody was putting out fires. Meanwhile the relatively fireproof trees nearby are stil intact.

Your explanation is that DEWs were used to light the fires. Obviously that cannot be disproven. But your evidence, melted wheels, and unburned trees, is not evidence for DEWs at all. It is normal. It happened in the Napa valley fires as well (burned houses, unburned trees, and some melted wheels. Tubbs fire picture from 2017:
