Ah fuck thanks for pointing that out

An ICE engine has a torque curve that builds from idle up to peak usually 4-6 thousand RPM later. It takes time to find that torque and that power.

An electric motor is nearly opposite. The second you apply the voltage it’s off, maximum torque like a switch. That combined with multiple motors to keep each wheel working at peak performance and use that torque leads to ridiculously fast acceleration.

Similar reason big diesel wagons can punch so hard, they have torque low down and available but as they drop off (like electric motors) that’s where ICE is going to catch up if at all. I recommend looking at dyno graphs for a few cars and you’ll see this graphically.
