Ice cars have engines. BEVs have motors. Throttles and accelerators are roughly equivalent in a car. Gas pedal applies, of course, to a fuel-powered engine. The ignition switch should probably be properly called a power switch. But, honestly, anyone arguing over the nomenclature you're using when it's obvious what mode of transportation we're chatting about is simply arguing to argue. It's not like anyone uses the term "gas pedal" when referring to a stagecoach or an airplane, now is it?

And so we don’t stop at the gas station for a charge? Personally I call it stopping at the trough to give my car a drink.. but that’s me.

I call the accelerator a gas pedal, and the motor an engine (which I think is technically correct), but have gotten lectured by EV purists on both labels.

I had never thought about ignition before Huntingpudel mentioned it, but I imagine the purists would not like that either.
How about the "ONOFF" switch? 🤣🐩

It would be a little crooked but it might just work!
