I think you mean there would be no internal combustion engine. According to Oxford, an engine is "a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion".

I think you mean there would be no internal combustion engine. According to Oxford, an engine is "a machine with moving parts that converts power into motion". So an electric motor is still an engine.
