[Electric Boats] high voltage again

 

I installed a VFD (variable frequency drive $400 )on a convayer at the plant yesterday and I was thinking that with a used 3 phase motor 3 or 5 HP($100?), a pot and a gear reduction one could build the cheapest drive possible . The battery bank would be nom.288 vdc. Lithium probably but at 2+ amps per horsepower any small battery could perform 24 X 12v . Any one know the voltage of a Prius ? Im sure there is a wrecked one by now.Of course we must be safe but I believe that industry will lead us down this path
