No, i was giving an example of something that is called by an outdated term. A Leaf is an EV, but I still call the accelerator the "gas pedal". (Its not even the gas pedal on a modern combustion engine car, its the air pedal)

The car has a button you push to turn it on like a normal car with a pushbutton start.
