Examples

1

Consider that a luxury electric car's motor generates 250 kilowatts (kW) of power.
Convert this power output from kilowatts to Horsepower (Electric).

Answer:

Given:

The power in kilowatts is:

Power(Kilowatts) = 250

Formula:

The formula to convert power from kilowatts to horsepower (electric) is:

Power(Horsepower (Electric)) = (Power(Kilowatts) × 1e3)/746

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power(Kilowatts) = 250 in the above formula.

Power(Horsepower (Electric)) = (250 × 1e3)/746

Power(Horsepower (Electric)) = 335.1206

Final Answer:

Therefore, 250 kW is equal to 335.1206 hp(E).

The power is 335.1206 hp(E), in horsepower (electric).

2

Consider that a high-end gaming PC setup consumes 1 kilowatt (kW) of power.
Convert this power usage from kilowatts to Horsepower (Electric).

Answer:

Given:

The power in kilowatts is:

Power(Kilowatts) = 1

Formula:

The formula to convert power from kilowatts to horsepower (electric) is:

Power(Horsepower (Electric)) = (Power(Kilowatts) × 1e3)/746

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power(Kilowatts) = 1 in the above formula.

Power(Horsepower (Electric)) = (1 × 1e3)/746

Power(Horsepower (Electric)) = 1.3405

Final Answer:

Therefore, 1 kW is equal to 1.3405 hp(E).

The power is 1.3405 hp(E), in horsepower (electric).
