I find myself describing the electric car to folks, but don't have a good way to describe the ICE cars. I don't want to say a "normal" car, because electric is my new normal. ICE means nothing to the average person.
In an attempt to coin a term, I a proposing "Smoker" instead of ICE or normal car. The name is derived from the ICE bandits from the movie Waterworld.
For a refresher on Waterworld Smokers:

Do you have a better suggestion on a word to describe ICE cars?
From the comments below, we have other suggestions too:
Old fashioned car
fart-car
polluter
fossil-car
Heater (noted confusion with slang for gun)
Tailpiper
gas car (noted confusion with hybrid)
slimer
old stinky technology
gasser
ICK = Internal Combustion Klunker
PIG = Petroleum Ingesting Gas Hog
Dino-burners
