Watts, Volts, Amps, Ohms…Basic Info every EV should know

[Gr8Barn]

Watts, volts, amps, and ohms are all important units of measure for electricity. They tell us how much power is being generated (watts), the force behind the flow of electrons (volts), the rate at which electrons are flowing (amps), and the resistance to the flow of current (ohms). By understanding these four units, we can understand how electricity works and how it can be used to power our vehicles, devices and homes.

And we’ll still get questions asked why the Rivian charges slower in miles per hour ….

A lot of people get confused between power (volts x amps= Watts) and energy (Watts x hours = Wh)
