Definition
续航 (xù háng) means 'to last' or 'to have endurance', specifically referring to a vehicle's range or a battery's life before needing refueling or recharging. Unlike 持续 (chí xù), which means 'to continue' in a general sense (e.g., an activity or state), 续航 is tied to energy or fuel consumption in transportation or electronics.
