all-electric

No combustion engine

All-electric describes something powered entirely by electricity rather than fossil fuels or hybrid systems: an all-electric vehicle, an all-electric home.

The term emphasizes complete elimination of gas, oil, or other energy sources, often in contexts of environmental policy or technological transition: The city committed to an all-electric bus fleet by 2030.
