    What is Motor Power (kW)?

    How powerful your EV's engine is.

    Kilowatts (kW) measures the continuous power output. Multiply by 1.34 for horsepower (HP). A 100 kW motor = 134 HP. Typical EVs: Tata Nexon EV (107 kW, 144 HP), MG ZS EV (130 kW, 174 HP), BMW i4 (250 kW, 340 HP). More kW = faster acceleration and higher top speed.
