Electric vehicles have no/single speed transmissions. Of course they can accelerate faster, because they don’t have to have the driver operating the clutch and cycling through all the gears before they get up to pace.
What they did is basically say Usain Bolt is the world’s fastest marathon runner by filming his 100m race and “extrapolating”
