What are Kiloelectron-volt and Horsepower-hour

A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts. It is commonly used in the field of physics and chemistry to express the energy levels of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles. One kiloelectron-volt is equivalent to 1.60218 x 10^-16 joules, a relatively small amount of energy that is significant at the atomic scale.

A horsepower-hour (hp·h) is a unit of energy that represents the work done by a power of one horsepower operating for one hour. It is not a standard SI unit but is widely used in the automotive and power industries. One horsepower-hour is equivalent to 2,684,520 joules or 0.7457 kilowatt-hours, reflecting the substantial amount of work a horse could historically perform in an hour.
