English translation:use tolerance
Explanation:
Strange term, but......
The Department continues a small effort in EV batteries to address these barriers, but has shifted the majority of vehicle battery R&D to focus on the high power application required by hybrid electric vehicles, including fuel cell vehicles. Hybrid vehicles do not suffer from range limitations and recharging is conducted continually during vehicle operation. The major focus areas of this activity are use tolerance, battery life, and cost reduction

on further thought... tolerance (variation) in use, which would be a percentage
but here may not be a short English answer..From Wikipedia----

Tolerance in engineering is the permissible limit of variation in a dimension or value of a parameter of a manufactured object. Dimensions and parameters may vary within certain limits without significantly affecting functioning of equipment; tolerances are specified to allow leeway for imperfections in manufacturing parts and components without compromising performance.
