What batteries can I get for $5k

I have some saved cash .. and before I waste it I want to buy some good batteries.

Not second hand used one's.

So for $5000 what cells would be good.

But I need a BMS and 6hr charger (C/6).

So what would allow me 195 kW peak (10sec)
And 95W continuous.

EIG SOUND popular for power applications.

Need to do more study.

$1/wh would give me 5000 W.h
50 kW cruise power at 100km/h.
5000/50000 = 0.1hour 6min

10KW at 40km/h gives 30min
Or 20km

So 200 kW peak 5 kW.h 40C rate discharge.
50kW is 10C
10kW is 2C

There are some dream targets of midnight persuasion.

I hope in 2015 they are achievable.

Cheers 7c

$5k maybe less

For plugin hybrid conversion.

So the short answer is NO but the long answer is YES.

I agree but it wasn't part of the technical specs Image
