I only know that because I drew up plans to build an electric/rubber burning S-10 and got a nearly free late 1990s S-10 with a blown engine.
You can get an insanely powerfull DC electric motor for a few grand, when I mean powerful racers used aceleration calculations to put the peak horsepower some where around 2,500.
You can spend a little less if you dont need 2,500 horsepower.
When you need raw power and torque DC is where you need to be, I have a modded electric chain saw ran off a 220v varrac (it flips standard 20a 110v single line circuit breakers) that out cuts 4 horsepower gas saws with ease and it uses a DC motor.
The only draw back is it cant go very far into the woods, thats it.
