KMC bike chain is supposedly able to handle it. I need to order some. I used it for my cyclone midrive running at 56 volts and 40 amps (maybe more) as the single speed chain from the motor to the pedals, but I had the stock walmart Mongoose chain to the rear wheel. I did break that chain going up a 45 degree slope in first gear with my fat butt on a fat bike and me pedaling. I was able to fix it and continue on, but it would be nice to have the better chain in the first place as it would be under $40. I need to carry more master links just in case as well.
