Will fully electric cars be called 電車？


A train in japanese is 電車. Precisely an electric train.

電 means electricity and 車 means car/vehicle.

Which means that the name for fully electrical cars should be 電車 or 自動電車
right?




Electric cars are called
[電気自動車](https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%9B%BB%E6%B0%97%E8%87%AA%E5%8B%95%E8%BB%8A).

I’m not sure, what you mean by "will" (and what the timeframe is), but I guess
they will remain to be also called 車{くるま}, just as two-wheeled carts pulled by
oxen.
