Yes, electric motors are rated as the power they can provide all day every day, 24/7 without overheating. Automotive engines are rated as the maximum power they can produce, usually for only a short time before overheating. Therefore taking that the stall current is the maximum current an electric motor will draw, and stall current on a normal three-phase supply is about six times the running current, the 10HP motor will produce 60HP from a cold start. Electronic technology can actually improve this to over 100HP, real HP to the wheels. That is enough for most typical size modern cars.

What electric motor does an electric car use?
A electric car uses either a DC or AC motor. Typically they use DC motors.
Why buy a car with an electric motor?
Distance and time do not necessarily matter when calculating the efficiency of an electric car motor. Electric cars are best for small distance commutes.
Does a hybrid car use a motor?
Yes, it has one electric motor and one gas powered engine. The engine creates electric power to turn the electric motor.
How many cylinders are present in electric engine car?
An electric motor has no cylinders.
What is the main difference between gasoline- powered and electric hybrid cars?
The main difference is in hybrid cars there are a small petrol engine and a electric motor. When the car is driving along at slower speeds the Electric motor is driving the car while the petrol engine recharges the battery but when the speed is greater the Engine And Electric Motor Drives The Car
How does electric golf carts work?
an electric motor drives the cart, similar to an electric car or a gocart.
How would you make an electric car?
You get lots of batteries and a huge, powerful electric motor
Can electric car engines blowout?
No, because an electric car does not have an engine - it has a motor. The motor can fail though. If it gets dirty internally, or shorts out, or it is designed to have a cooling system connected but does not, etc. can lead to the motor failing.
How does a hybrid car operate?
A hybrid car, operates on a gas motor, and an electric motor, charged by energy given off from the brakes or axles. The gas motor propels the car at the higher r.p.m.s, and the electric motor at the lower ones, because the batteries that power the electric motor aren't nearly as strong as a gas motor so to go faster the gas motor switches on, and you speed up. As you brake, or as the axles turn, the batteries recharge to power the electric motor, and the cycle restarts when you slow down.
Is a car a electromagnetic energy?
Only if it has an electric propulsion motor.
The current in an electric motor comes from?
Power plants (fueled by elements) produce the electrical energy that circuits to an outlet that you can charge an electric motor with a plug that is wired to an electric motor. Or if it is a vehicle with an electric motor, you electrically charge car batteries that produce the current to the electric motor.
How Robert Anderson invented the the car?
He did not. He invented the electric motor car, which is a different matter.
