The Volt is also an ICE with a battery onboard. No?Volt owners know what we mean. The Volt's an EV with an engine onboard. Either you understand that or you don't.

You forgot EVER.So far I have seen 4 definitions of EV:
1) "electric drive": includes PHEV, FCEV, BEV, HEV, EREV, etc
2) "plug-in": includes PHEV, BEV, EREV
3) "electric car": BEV
4) EREV + BEV only

Can you be more specific in your linkage where they define "EV"?Well, the organization "Plug In America", pretty well defines the line based on if it has a plug. Seems simple (possibly overly simple for this thread, however).
