Some of the experts will be able to give you a more definitive answer..but it seems to me the factor is somewhere between 3x and 5x. In other words, 10 horse electric = 30-50 horse internal combustion engine. The electric motor develops instant high torque and is able to maintain it and add a bit under load. It also offers close to a constant speed. It takes a much larger rated IC engine to do the equivalent.

A rough example is a hammer mill I have. The owners manual calls for a 10 horse electric motor or a 30-50 pto horse tractor for proper operation.
