EV is the acronym for an all-electric vehicle, so it does not use gasoline. Another name for an EV is a BEV or battery electric vehicle. Because all-electric models produce zero-emissions, they are referred to as ZEVs, or zero emissions vehicles. You may also come across PHEVs, plug-in hybrid vehicles that use a rechargeable battery and a gas-powered engine. An HEV is a hybrid model with a non-rechargeable battery and a gas engine. ICE stands for internal combustion engine. ICE vehicles do not use electricity.
