Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks
German term or phrase: Energiedurchsatz
From a text about hybrid vehicles:

Die durchgesetzte elektrische Energie wird aus der elektrischen Leistung ermittelt. Hierbei wird zwischen eingespeister und verbrauchter Energie unterschieden. Der elektrische Energiedurchsatz auf die Fahrzeuglebensdauer wird analag dazu ermittelt.

I'd originally translated Energiedurchsatz as "energy consumption", but with a distinction being made between "eingespeister und verbrauchter Energie" the term obviously covers more than just the energy consumed.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, I did wonder about throughput but wasn't sure whether it's used in this context as I couldn't find many references to "electrical energy throughput".
