I’ve heard that fact, and I know ICE cars have a torque curve but I don’t understand why it is that an electric motor produces torque instantly.

They just …. do. There’s no reason why they wouldn’t.
In an ICE, the power gets made when the fuel goes bang. That happens once per two revolutions per cylinder. The more revolutions the more bangs. So you gotta have the engine going at a certain speed to make power. A 4-cylinder engine has to spin around 5 times to make 10 bangs worth of power.
An electric motor just… doesn’t have this problem. The power can be turned on and off whenever. No big deal.
Actually some types of electric motors do have to spin to make power, but they don’t use those kinds in electric cars.
