ICE means internal combustion engine. It is a plug in hybrid but the ICE only powers a generator, when you've exhausted just the battery. The ICE then starts and runs the generator which supplies electricity to power the electric drive motor. There is no range anxiety because you go as far as the gas will take you before refilling the gas tank. A pretty ingenious idea Chevy had there.
