The relevant metric is the torque at low (or 0) RPM, not the (horse) power.

I do agree that a good electric car may start faster than a cyclist, however.

Dunno, my ICE idles at 900 RPM and I tend to give it a bit of gas as I start going. I don't think my feet could put out anywhere near as much torque.
