Is it really required?Jim basically made the same point as my long winded reply.
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)."

Horsepower is horsepower. I want to make a surface street work vehicle out of it. Around here that means I'll have to do 55 once in a while to get everywhere around town. I also want to be able to haul a little bit with it.
If I was using it as a tractor substitute around the property it might be different, but I have a tractor already.
Having owned a few trucks, all used for work, some rarely going highway speed, I can't believe I'd want less than 200HP on tap, but if the price was right I might live with 160ish.
