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.

I’ve worked in electronics a long time. You’d be surprised what you can do with some magnets, a coil and some electrical current. But it’s a long way from being a practical motor that you can carry with you to power you and a car across the country. It’s all about the batteries.
