What’s The Difference Between kWh and kW

I delve into the distinctions between kilowatts (kW) and kilowatt-hours (kWh) in the realm of electric vehicles. Unraveling the complexities, we demystify these terms—kW, the measure of power determining the rate at which energy flows, and kWh, the unit quantifying the total energy storage capacity of an EV battery. We navigate through the significance of kW in charging speed and unveil the real-world analogies that make these concepts easily graspable. If you’ve ever been puzzled by the kW and kWh jargon, this video is your compass to understanding the power dynamics of electric mobility.

its metric you guys and it is for layman's to 1 Kw = the energy needed to lift 100 kg of weight 1 meter against earth gravity in 1 second at sea level
if you do it for 1 hour than its 1 Kwh
1hp = do the same with 75 kg so 100hp = 75Kw

In most of the world, Europe for sure, they use kW for the power ratings of their cars rather than horsepower. HP is such an antiquated term. In fact there are 4 different types of horsepower (mechanical, electrical, metric and boiler...yikes)
Yes we in North America grew up with (mechanical) horsepower, and so its an easier way to compare one car vs another when talking to car enthusiasts here. 1 HP = 1.35962 kW, so a 350HP car would also be about 257 kW.
Just pointing this out because a kW is not specific to electric cars/motors, its been used for cars before we went electric. Which is a mind bender for me as if i hear Watts or kW, i think electric..bulbs, power supplies etc, not a car's motor output ;)
