When consulting the online definition of the word car (car) we find: “a road vehicle, typically with four wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine, and capable of carrying a small number of people” — the question raised by Jaguar for its I-Pace.
Since they do not have an internal combustion engine, electric automobiles, according to the definition in the English dictionary, cannot be considered as cars — so what are they?
Jaguar therefore formally submitted an application to the Oxford English Dictionary — considered the ultimate authority on the English language — and the Oxford Dictionaries to update their definition of a car in the English language.
In our language, this is a problem that does not arise, where the definition of a car (or automobile) is much broader: “a vehicle that moves powered by its own engine, usually with four wheels” — in Priberam Dictionary.
By not limiting the definition by the type of engine, it means that both the Jaguar I-Pace and the other electric cars are considered to be cars or cars.
