That’s the inherent difference between an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The ICE has to be running to sustain operation, while an electric motor can be at standstill, zero RPM, then respond when the electricity is applied.

Okay, it’s just seems weird to me but I googled it...max torque on an electric motor occurs at zero RPM:
Steam engines and electric motors tend to produce maximum torque close to zero rpm, with the torque diminishing as rotational speed rises (due to increasing friction and other constraints). Reciprocating steam engines can start heavy loads from zero RPM without a clutch.
