Yes but Kleenex and Google. Its a generic term for turning your car on away from the "start" "ignition" button.

    Wait. You don't have to press a button to turn it on? That would take a bit of getting used to

    No, i was giving an example of something that is called by an outdated term.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.
