What do they call the gas pedal in electric cars?
If electric cars don’t use gas, is it still referred to as the “gas pedal”? If not, what do they call the gas pedal in electric cars?

If you’re just speaking causally, most people will probably know what you mean if you refer to a “gas pedal” in an
electric car
, but it might feel a little silly to call it that. Instead, most people refer to the gas pedal in an electric car as the accelerator. In an electric vehicle, the accelerator is located in the same spot as a gas-powered accelerator and provides the same function and ease of use.
If you’re shopping around for an electric car and want to save money on your

plan, download the Jerry
