Convert kW to HP – Electric Car Power Calculator

This online tool is designed to convert the power output of electric cars from kilowatts (kW) to horsepower (hp). It provides a quick and easy way to understand electric car power in terms familiar to those used for traditional combustion engine vehicles.

How to Use:

1. Input the power rating of the electric car in kilowatts (kW) into the designated field.
2. Click ‘Convert to Horsepower’ to execute the conversion.
3. The result, displayed as horsepower (hp), will appear immediately.

Formula

hp = kW / 0.7457

This formula reflects the standard conversion where 1 kW is equivalent to approximately 1.341 horsepower.
