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 “?

Combustion engines have a delay from when you press the gas to when it actually moves the vehicle forward. You basically have to wait for a chemical reaction to occur in order to have power.

EVs store that power in the battery and can be brought out in an instant. Actually so much that they released an option to limit it. E.g. ‘Chill mode’ on Teslas.
