About Kilowatt-hour (kWh)
The standard billing unit for household electricity worldwide, one kilowatt-hour equals 3.6 megajoules. Running a 100-watt light bulb for 10 hours consumes one kWh. Average US household electricity consumption is about 30 kWh per day, and electric vehicle batteries hold 40-100 kWh.
About Calorie (thermochemical) (cal)
The small calorie (cal) is the energy needed to raise one gram of water by one degree Celsius at standard pressure. While largely replaced by the joule in scientific contexts (1 cal = 4.184 J exactly), the calorie remains in use in chemistry and is the basis for the food Calorie (kilocalorie).
