Too Afraid to Ask

Kilowatt hours tell you how much energy a battery can hold. More kWh usually means the car can drive farther before needing to recharge.

Technical Definition

Kilowatt hours (kWh) measure energy capacity, commonly used to describe the amount of energy a battery can store. In electric vehicles, a higher kWh rating typically means a longer driving range.
