Now with electric cars we have battery capacity specified in kWh, vehicle power in kW and charging capability in kW.

This is all as it should, however a large number of people have a really hard time groking the difference between kW and kWh.

So much so that I wonder if we should start specifying battery capacity in MJ to help people clarify things in their heads.



I've noticed that some EV users talk about charging rates in "kWh/h". Which is interesting, to say the least.


Someone needs to teach them algebra
