Actually this is no suprise since a electric car doesn't need to convert mechanical energy back and forth. It only needs to convert the electricity to mechanical energy once, so that means that the power is near instant (way higher startup turning moment), while on a gazoline motor it needs to "warm up". Also some vehicles have multiple motors peer wheel, that is not possible with a non electric car.
