Ok, I've said I don't ever see myself owning an EV.....maybe I'd rethink it for one of these......4500 Ft Lbs of torque.

That torque figure is as measured at the wheels where it is multiplied by the transmission, which many EVWest conversions retain, and the differential ratio, which Tesla’s, even dual rear motor ones, have. Many ICE vehicles make similar torque numbers at the wheels. Of course the electric motor still has the advantage of making peak torque at zero RPM.

That said, I still think EVWest and EV conversions in general are pretty cool.
