Isn't megawatts the measurement of power? Wouldn't Watt Hours be the measurement for capacity? Sometimes people use Apmere Hours also. Like the Chevy Bolt has 60 kWh of capacity.
- adaml_623 9y agoThat's a great point and the answer is that it has storage capacity measured in Watt Hours and it has a peak power supply capacity measured in Watts. Other comments have the details :-)
- marcosdumay 9y agoTurns out that power output is one of the most important measures for a battery. On some applications it's even more relevant than capacity. (If you have an internal combustion car, take a look at its battery, odds are power is written in way larger letters than capacity.)
