Horsepower is horsepower, so a 16 hp electric motor could, on the surface, replace a 16 hp gas motor. Things to consider, however, include RPM and torque.

Gas engines are inefficient, to replace a 16 hp gas engine it would take only a 8 hp electric. standard closest size would be a 10 hp. I have done this several times on air compressors and hydraulic pumps.

How does a hybrid car operate?

A hybrid car, operates on a gas motor, and an electric motor, charged by energy given off from the brakes or axles. The gas motor propels the car at the higher r.p.m.s, and the electric motor at the lower ones, because the batteries that power the electric motor aren't nearly as strong as a gas motor so to go faster the gas motor switches on, and you speed up. As you brake, or as the axles turn, the batteries recharge to power the electric motor, and the cycle restarts when you slow down.
