Off topic but why does hn use the term ICE vehicle rather than gas vehicle? It comes across as forced like when a non tech person is trying to impress me with buzz words and I’m just like no one talks like that in the industry.
- enjeyw 7y agoComing from a country that refers to ‘gas’ as ‘petrol’, ‘gas vehicle’ sounds far more awkward than ‘ICE vehicle’ - makes me think of a car running on LPG

- WalterBright 7y ago> rather than gas vehicle Probably the same reason you use "vehicle" rather than "car".
- mdorazio 7y agoIt's more than just "gas" - also diesel and LNG. It's generally easier to just use the blanket category ICE.
- calewis 7y agoBecause the thing people generally put in a car is a liquid, called petrol, not a gas.
- esotericn 7y ago'Gas' is an americanism. Europeans would say 'petrol or diesel' car, which is annoying, so ICE it is.
- mikestew 7y agoBecause my ICE recreational vehicle doesn’t run on gas.
- yardie 7y agoBecause the term applies to vehicles that don't necessarily use gas. Diesel, LNG, CNG are also ICE.
