Undid revision 1145346955 by Pol098 (talk). Kilowatt per hour is not meaningless. It could could indicate a rate of change of power, as when a generator is being turned on or off. It could be an intermediate result in a calculation, which would seldom be published.
Line 33:
* The United States official fuel-economy [[window sticker]] for electric vehicles uses the abbreviation "kW-hrs".<ref name=fueleconomy>{{cite web|title=Electric Vehicles: Learn More About the New Label |url= http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/label/learn-more-electric-label.shtml |website=fueleconomy.gov|publisher=US Department of energy|access-date=10 August 2014}}</ref>
* Variations in capitalization are sometimes encountered: KWh, KWH, kwh, etc., which are inconsistent with the International System of Units.
* The notation "kW/h" sometimes found for the kilowatt-hour is incorrect, as it would denotedenotes kilowatt per hour, which is meaningless.
 
The hour is a unit of time listed among the [[Non-SI units mentioned in the SI|non-SI units accepted]] by the [[International Bureau of Weights and Measures]] for use with the SI.<ref name=BIPM /> Its combination with the kilowatt, a standard SI unit, is therefore permitted within the standard.{{dubious|date=October 2022}}
