Am I the only one who has never heard the term “ICE” referring to Internal Combustion Engine vehicles? I hate how headlines deliberately make new acronyms or limit context to get people to click on the article.
It's very old... decades, and when talking about EVs and hybrids, an obviously quick way to reference conventional gas engine vehicles. The term is just unfortunately carrying some more recent baggage.
I've heard of it before
I've heard it a few times before the whole ICE thing in the US. Especially on threads of electric car owners talking about combustion cars.
Probably not the only one. Maybe there are dozens of you
I blame the American education system. (Or lack there of)
I love the poor grammar while dunking on the US educational system.
Oldest acronym I know, since physics class in grade five
