If you have a look at AEVA forums, you will find that they have a lot of experience on AC motors. (It seems if all the ac-fanboys at least lurk there). The way to go forward is to rewind the motor for lower voltage, then run it at ICE speeds. That way, when choosing your motor, you only need to be concerned with the torque, as you calculated. Your rate of acceleration then becomes the main measure of what you need. As far as vector control is concerned, not all "vector control" schemes are the same, but all improve motor response, which is needed for ev-applications. Welcome to ecomodder forum.
