Industrial motors are rated to operate continuously at their rating plus plenty of margin for overload. So in an EV, the motor would actually be much more powerful than its rating would indicate. As little as 7.5HP might be enough for an EV.
Maybe it's possible to make a small 2 phase version to allow the use of large appliance motors for something like power steering? Or to allow a common window A/C compressor be used for an EV heat pump?
