Well the way I always though of doing this was with super inExpensive golf cart motors. Sure one golf cart motor is only 48v and 10hp. But multiply that by 4 and you get 192v and 40hp which is quite a bit!
And what i was thinking you could run only two motors (96v) for under 35mph (city driving) and then the other two for highway. And if you can make the battery array output either voltage then during city driving you would get double the range
