At 0 RPM, you have 0 HP. That's why all the HP graphs start at 0.
Sorry I was thinking more along the lines of gas vs. electric torque curves starting from zero RPM. The electric motor would get up and go in the lower gear ranges much faster than a gas engine.

Watch the electric cars get off the starting line next to a gas car. They accelerate like they are steam catapult powered.

Remember I am a gear head making the transition to electric.
