The ratio of kinetic energy gained to chemical or electric energy consumed during acceleration.

The ratio of chemical or electric energy recovered to kinetic energy lost during deceleration. For combustion vehicles, regardless of that ratio, the actual amount of energy saved is capped to a net consumption of zero as the vehicle cannot recuperate energy.
