But what off the shelf controller will know what to do with the power factor corrector? This sounds like a custom controller to reuse the power components in the prius inverter, which is good for maybe 60hp and severely limits your motor options.
Caps and surplus IGBTs and handwound inductors can be had for much less than a typical used prius inverter and are in greater supply.
