Thank you for your comment. I do not want to start an argument, but, when it comes to electricity the variant kWh is in use and more practical. It is like if you use gram, mL, or hour when it is convenient even if it is not the main SI unit.

The energy unit in SI is the joule, however, as you undoubtedly know, not kWh in any of its forms including kWhs, KWH, kwh, etc. I suggest that, promoting SI, we do not waste our time on little silliness like the -s but let people know instead of the joule, perhaps even adding that it is the same 3.6 MJ. I am attaching an old article that makes the energy-related units more "human."

We'll likely stay with pound-feet to measure torque. That seems to be industry standard.

I really liked your tips and honesty in comparing plug in cars. I would like to get your attention on the SI units. One cannot change symbols and use the s for plural as I see it done in "kilowatt-hours (kWhs)"; it should be kWh. With this new era of technology, please try to stick with purely SI units, especially that manufacturers post their unit in Nm rather than foot-pound. You have a responsibility to educate.
