Here's a real life metric:
40 to 50 hp for 2000 lbs vehicle: Old VW bug and VW diesel. Barely adequate for highway work, really better for city speeds, you'll definitely hold up traffic on hills.
100 hp for 2500 lbs: Modern economy car, adequate and safe.
300 hp for 3000 lbs: Sports car territory.
My electric currently has about 50 hp. It's adequate for city speeds for level ground, it'll even do low highway speeds, but I consider it inadequate for hills in traffic or freeway traffic.
