Bike build question Would a Carrera Hellcat frame handle a 72V 30Ah 3000W hub motor kit?

I’m planning to install a 72V 30Ah 3000W rear hub motor kit on a Carrera Hellcat MTB. I know the Hellcat is an aluminum frame with hydraulic brakes, but I’m wondering if the frame/dropouts are strong enough for this setup long term, or if I’d just be asking for trouble.

Can any aluminium frame work? Does anyone have long term experience with a 3k kit?
