ICE

Also called: internal combustion engine ICE means internal combustion engine, the petrol or diesel engine used to propel conventional vehicles and many hybrid vehicles. The engine converts energy released by fuel combustion into mechanical power. BEVs do not use an internal combustion engine for propulsion. PHEVs, HEVs and MHEVs combine an ICE with different forms of electric assistance. In EV charging discussions, ICE also appears in terms such as "ICEing", which describes a combustion-engine vehicle blocking an EV charging bay.
