It's true the gas engine isn't always on, but the EREV systems I know of, charge battery exclusively from the gas engine, not even a plugin option. This means an EREV at least CAN be 100% powered by gas, meaning it's more an ICE car than an EV.

Can you share some examples?

Sorry the concept I described is what was called Self charging EV, which especially Toyota pushed. EREV is very similar but not the same.
