Yes, I think it's the number of recharging cycles, rather than the

That is nonsense, because whether the vehicle is a commercial van or a
private car it is almost certain to be charged once every 24 hours.

If its a hybrid it'll be recharging itself and it'll be doing it a lot more
often if its being used 12 hours a day.

That does not appear to be a factor in resale values of the Toyota
Prius, which has been on sale a lot longer than any other hybrid car.

I doubt many of them have been driven the distance to the moon and back yet.
