What is it called in English a term that describes the self dependency of a technical device?

What is it called in English a term that describes the self dependency of a technical device, without refueling it? For example the distance a car can go without refueling or the time a battery can function without recharging it.

I need to translate into English a technical catalog and I don’t know if self dependency can be used technically (in techniques).

In my language the term is autonomy but all English dictionaries describe this only politically, i.e. independency, self governing, freedom etc.

On the other hand, on the internet I saw the term drone autonomous air refueling which means that the term can be used technically.

So can I use the term autonomy or self dependency?

high autonomy;

or

high self dependency.

about a product? Or there is/are better term/terms
