How to convert electronvolts to kilowatt-hours
Calories use the thermochemical definition. Btu use the International Table definition. Food Calories are kilocalories, not single calories.
Use x for the value in eV, b for the intermediate value in J, and y for the result in kWh.
kWh = eV × 1.602176634e-19 ÷ 3600000
Worked examples
10 eV ≈ 4.45049065e-25 kWh
Step 1: (10 × 1.602176634e-19) ≈ 1.602176634e-18 J.
Step 2: 1.602176634e-18 ÷ 3600000 ≈ 4.45049065e-25 kWh.20 eV ≈ 8.9009813e-25 kWh
Step 1: (20 × 1.602176634e-19) ≈ 3.204353268e-18 J.
Step 2: 3.204353268e-18 ÷ 3600000 ≈ 8.9009813e-25 kWh.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Electronvolts
Electronvolts (eV) measures energy under the conventions above. The base value in J is (x × 1.602176634e-19), where x is the numerical value in eV. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
About Kilowatt-hours
Kilowatt-hours (kWh) measures energy under the conventions above. The base value in J is (x × 3600000), where x is the numerical value in kWh. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
