Hmm. Not in my wheelhouse, but . . . maybe the Community Edition one at €320?

Or, the Personal Support edition at €800?

Both products mention 136kw output when used with a Gen2 Leaf inverter.

Prius larger power stage is capable of, optimistically 500A (peak!) and Leaf Gen2 of 1000A. The latter manages 140 kW@360V before it desats. Half the current -> half the power. Unless you run a 600V battery or something.
I will add: the Nissan leaf gen2 inverter works perfectly from 500 volts! on a 360 volt battery, I received from him repeatedly more than 150 kW on the firmware 5.27 foc.

Curious what difficulties make using the drive motor form a Toyota Highlander prohibitive? I see several on Ebay for ±$500
