In the context of electric vehicles (EVs), power, measured in kilowatts (kW), refers to the rate at which energy is used or transferred. It’s analogous to horsepower in traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, indicating the vehicle’s capability to perform work, such as accelerating or climbing hills. In the context of EV charging, power represents the speed at which the battery can be recharged, with higher power values typically leading to faster charging times.
