Get familiarized with electric vehicle (EV) terminology and get your questions answered.
 
The power of kilowatts
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of electrical power (1,000 watts = 1 kW). On an EV, a kW is used to measure the rate at which the battery charges. Generally, the higher the number, the faster the charging capability.


Refer to your owner's manual and EV charger manual for proper use. Consult with a qualified electrician regarding charger installation and always adhere to local building codes.

 
Battery capacity = kWh
Battery capacity is measured in kWh (kilowatt hours). Think of this as the EV-equivalent of fuel tank capacity on a gas-powered vehicle vehicle. A kWh is essentially the amount of stored energy available.
 
How kW & kWh work
Imagine electricity as water. To fill up a pool, for example, a kilowatt would be the size of the hose that the water runs through. A kilowatt hour would be the size of the pool. In EV terms, think power (kW) and energy capacity (kWh).
