Those horsepower numbers seem exceedingly large. Is it really required?
I'm thinking in terms of 100hp peak, 20hp continuous at most. It
might require a multi-speed transmission, but that's key to efficiency
anyway. Am I overlooking something? A 12 kg LiFePO4 battery can deliver
about a kilowatt for a minute or so. Do you really want 250 of them?

My 91 Ford Ranger has a 105HP 4 cylinder engine that can barely get it to 70MPH on flat ground. It was fine around town and for commuting in bumper to bumper traffic at 50MPH. I bought it for its 7' bed and put up with the Pinto engine.

"A version with two spark plugs per cylinder, distributor-less ignition, and reduced main bearing sizes was introduced in the 1989 Ford Ranger and 1991 Ford Mustang. This engine produced 105 hp (78 kW) and 183 N⋅m (135 lb⋅ft)."
