** Caution: EXTERNAL Sender ** Electrification of everything and replacement of fossil fuels in the U.S. is a powerful path to metrication in the USA. Every gallon of gas, every cubic foot of fossil gas that is electrified is not just more efficient, cleaner and probably cheaper, but metric as well.

You'll notice it also has ch the abbreviation for chevaux-vapeur (horse-power in English). I would say there is no correlation between the kWh capacity of a battery and power in horses unless its hp/h (ch/h). I've gone into car showrooms here and asked what the engine power is in kW and they give me the battery power, many people worldwide think the Watt is an electric unit and are confused when you ask them the power of the engine in kW. Across Europe the only power listed in the owner manual is kW for the engine. But it's an uphill battle getting the marketing people on board.
