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)."
Jim basically made the same point as my long winded reply.

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

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.
