What exactly does the number of kWh mean?

The abbreviation kWh stands for kilowatt hour. The number of kWh in an electric vehicle (EV) refers to the capacity of the battery. It indicates how much electrical energy the battery can store and deliver before it needs to be recharged. The higher the number of kWh, the greater the capacity of the battery.

The number of kWh plays an important role in determining the range of your car. That range also depends on several other factors. The energy consumption of the vehicle, the driver’s driving style, the tyre pressure, the terrain, and the environmental conditions all play a role.
