Shift you car to 4th from a stop and see how far you go.

A motor is not like an engine, it has more power when slower, and
wouldn't have a problem getting it going.

Electric motors have 100% torque at stall.

I am pleased to see that you at least know the difference between a
motor and an engine. There is hope for you yet.

I also know it's very easy to add a soft start circuit to prevent the old dear being lurched form 0mph to a massive great 2mph walking speed, which wouldn't actually be dangerous at all, but some over-zealous health and softy legislation might think so.
