The cycle life is the number of complete charge/discharge cycles that the battery is able to support before its capacity falls under 80% of its original capacity. That is, battery discharged to 0% then recharged to 100%, is equals to one cycle. If battery is discharged to 60% then recharged to 80, it is not a complete cycle. The cycle life will also vary based on the conditions the battery is in. Factors such as temperature, movement, how frequently it is used etc. claimed life cycle is when the battery performs under ideal conditions.

This is the kind of electrical power that comes from most power plants. It alternates direction in the wires.

This is the type of electricity that comes from batteries or solar panels. It flows directly from a positive side to a negative side (or reverse)

When the vehicle slows down, the regenerative braking system acts as a mini generator and stores kinetic energy in the battery to help you travel further. It can actually increase a vehicle’s range by 5-10%.

Transforming convention internal combustion engine based vehicles into electric vehicle.

This is the energy reservoir that contains the energy the car will use to drive, operate the heating and cooling, and run all of the other lights and accessories.

The component of an electric vehicle that transforms the electrical energy from the battery into rotation that can be used to move the vehicle.

The BMS manages the electrical current flow in and out of the battery to protect the battery and extend its life. 

Much like the access port for the gas tank in an internal combustion engine car, the charge port is the location where energy enters the car.
