I wish to share a conversion website which I have found to be quite useful in converting EV economy figures.

We use miles per kWh here. In other countries the EV economy is reported as kWh per 100km. Bjørn Nyland uses watt hour per km in his videos. In the US they use a conversion from miles per kWh to MPGe of petrol (or gasoline as is it know there) so as to compare EV economy to ICE vehicles.

To be able convert and compare the all these different EV economy units I use the link below.

The same website has a calculator for cost of charging an EV. This is the only calculator that I have found that allows you to enter charging loss to get a more accurate estimate of costs.

We should really standardise on SI units.

So Joules/metre.

I'm honestly baffled as to why my electricity bill is in kWh, and not MJ.

And when I see on Zap Map that somebody 'got 25kWh in half an hour' and I remember that that is 'thousands of joules per second times an hour times 25 divided by half an hour' - it's no wonder people get confused between units.

Brexit would indicate otherwise, so horsepower hours per furlong sounds about right

Bring back the Turnip as a unit of measure!

Then finally we will have our sovereignty.

Because Watts, Volts and Amps are the measures we use for electricity.

It’s easier than having to remember the conversion factor to Joules.

On my journey to work I rate it wtf's per mile it averages at 3 per mile
