To add to the other comments, electric motors get full torque, or acceleration potential, at 1 rpm and it's the same at every RPM. Combustion motors have low torque at 1RPM and build up to peak torque at a designed point (e.g. 3000 rpm) then start to fall off again. That makes electric cars great at sprinting.
