- toomuchtodo 7mo agoICE =! NEVs (which includes BEVs and PHEVs, with BEVs still the majority). If folks want to buy PHEVs until BEVs steamroll them, whatevs, the BEV cost decline and uptake curves speak for themselves. Combustion isn't getting cheaper anytime soon. https://cleantechnica.com/2026/02/03/global-ev-sales-leaders-2025-top-markets-powertrains/ https://cleantechnica.com/2026/02/03/global-ev-sales-leaders... https://www.iea.org/reports/global-ev-outlook-2025 https://www.iea.org/reports/global-ev-outlook-2025 https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-car-sales-battery-plugin https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-car-sales-battery-p... https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/car-sales https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/car-sales
- nomel 7mo agoHybrid contain an ICE, and are fully propelled by an ICE on the freeway (after some small miles). Their sale includes a fully operational ICE, often functionally independent. ICE is an acronym for internal combustion engine, a type of engine, not a type of car. ICE are used in all sorts of non car things. But you're correct that an ICE car is not an NEV car, which I never claimed.
