Why is the phrase “battery electric vehicles” more accurate at conveying the mixed energy sources than “electric vehicles” exactly? How does adding the word “battery” change anything?

Adding the word “battery” changes exactly nothing, except maybe winning arbitrary strawman internet points. > Until society actually builds net-zero carbon electrical generation we haven't done much for carbon footprint. Ok so if my electricity is provided by a nuclear plant, I still can’t call my car an EV because there exists other sources of electricity out there? Please.
