Hell yes electric is far more powerful than combustion in torque speed and power.

“Electrical engines produce maximum torque - the amount of force in a spin - at low speed. Gasoline engines don’t produce maximum torque until they get up to a certain rate of turn (typically higher RPMs), dependent upon how the engine was designed.

When you read about “horsepower”, which is a common measure of power production, you’re running the engine’s torque measurement at specific RPMs through this equation:

HP = (torque x RPM) / 5252

If we look at a BMW M3 torque band, the engine is putting out 415 ft/lb of torque at 8,000 RPMs.

Let’s compare this to a logging winch, which might produce 3,000 ft/lb of torque at 650 RPMs.”

How much torque does an electric motor produce when the battery is dead?
