You probably already saw this but the guys over on The Australian Electric Vehicle Association Forums The Australian Electric Vehicle Asn - Powered by Web Wiz Forums™
have done some amazing things with VFDs and small AC motors.

They are driving small SUVs with 14 HP rated AC motors, direct drive, with GOOD performance. Your 40 HP motor may be way big when overpowered with a bigger VFD.
