Glossary

Battery:

A string of rechargeable electrochemical cells.

Battery electric vehicle:

An electric vehicle in which the electrical energy to drive the motor(s) is stored in an onboard battery.

Capacity:

The electrical charge that can be drawn from the battery before a specified cut-off voltage is reached.

Depth of discharge:

The ratio of discharged electrical charge to the rated capacity of a battery.

Electric vehicle:

A vehicle in which propulsion torque is delivered exclusively by one or more electric motors.

Energy capacity:

The electrical energy that can be drawn from the battery before a specified cut-off voltage is reached.

Fuel cell electric vehicle:

An electric vehicle in which the propulsion energy is delivered from an onboard fuel cell and battery hybrid system.

Hybrid electric vehicle:

A vehicle in which propulsion energy is provided from two or more kinds or types of energy stores, sources, or converters, and at least one of them delivers electrical energy.
