  1. EV electric motors have poles. Each pole that gets passed by the rotor is similar to a single combustion event in a combustion engine. There's only so much energy-to-motion potential that can be delivered in each system in each "event." That is related to RPM in both powerplants. EV's cannot be fully efficient right off "stationary" similarly as combustion engines cannot be fully efficient right off stationary. People want to act like EV's are full power the instant the car makes its way across the first MM of travel. Simply isn't the case. There are poles in the motor that the rotor has to rotate past before another magnetic attraction event can draw the rotor past the next position. And so on, and so forth. It's almost equivalent to having a 16 cylinder combustion engine, the more cylinders, the more events per crankshaft rotation.
