Whenever I hear people talk about acceleration in electric cars, they talk about the instant torque. I think I have an okay understanding of what torque is, but what does it mean for it to be “instant “?
In: Mathematics
What they mean is torque at low RPM. An engine produces it’s peak torque at high speed (usually), it won’t make much at low engine speeds. An electric motor doesn’t really suffer from this disadvantage, it can produce most of it’s torque at any speed, even low speeds.
