DIFFERENCES
Simply put, torque is a measure of an engine's work
capacity. So the more torque, the more power.
Torque is also important when your car is doing some
heavy lifting, like moving heavy loads or going up a
steep hill.
Torque in an electric vehicle: Electric cars
use an electric motor to drive the vehicle.
While an internal combustion engine needs
to have a gear ratio to achieve the desired
speed and torque, an electric motor can
reach full torque instantly.
