    Perhaps but I'd wager most cars thus described wouldn't have electric seats nor a sunroof.

    The rover 75 has electric seats and optional electric sunroof, mine doesn't have the sunroof though.

    I'd take it to mean that the cars has all the electric features that where available on that specific model

    I take it to be a short abbreviation in an advert to describe the spec such as electric windows, mirrors and possibly sunroof, in layman's terms.

    Tesla Roadster??

    TBH, it's a bit of a catch all, a lazy way of describing your car.

    'all electric' means that the car is mutton dressed up as lamb, being sold through the Herald by a pathologically-dishonest part-time trader based in Walkinstown.

    i suppose all electric in my car would mean :

    electric windows
    electric mirrors
    electric seats
    electric steering wheel

    ive no sunroof but i would imagine on most modern cars its electric too.

    My Safrane had elctric windows (x4) , mirrors (that dipped when put into reverse) ,cl, front and rear scresns heated, sunroof, seats (inc heated) , inflatable seats. Pretty much anything that could be electrically operated in the car was.

    The only thing it didnt have that was available on it was electric rear seat, so I suppose that could count as all electics. Although my older safrane also had the steerign wheel elecrically adjustable but I think that was discontinued on the facelift so that doesnt count.

    think it's a throwback from the 90's when having elec mirrors, central locking and elec windows was something special.
