Kilowatts to horsepower
Car makers in Europe, Australia and much of Asia quote engine output in kilowatts; the US, the UK and most car enthusiasts still think in horsepower. The conversion depends on which horsepower you mean. This page uses the mechanical (imperial) horsepower of 745.7 W: 1 kW = 1.34102 hp. The metric horsepower (PS, CV, ch) used in German and French brochures is slightly smaller, 735.5 W, giving 1 kW = 1.35962 PS.
Quick estimate
Multiply by 4 and divide by 3: 150 kW → 600 ÷ 3 = 200 hp (201 exactly). For PS, multiply by 1.36.
- 1 kW = 1.34 hp
- 10 kW = 13.41 hp
- 50 kW = 67.05 hp (a small city car)
- 75 kW = 100.58 hp
- 100 kW = 134.1 hp
- 150 kW = 201.15 hp
- 200 kW = 268.2 hp
- 300 kW = 402.31 hp
- 500 kW = 670.51 hp
Electric cars
EV motors are rated in kilowatts, which makes the conversion routine. A 150 kW motor is 201 hp; a dual-motor 400 kW car is 536 hp. The same kW figure also describes charging speed, but that is a different quantity — a 150 kW charger delivers energy, it does not "have 201 hp".
Which horsepower?
Mechanical hp (this page): 745.7 W — used in the US and UK. Metric hp / PS: 735.5 W — used in continental Europe and Japan, and by most manufacturers' marketing. Brake horsepower (bhp) is mechanical hp measured at the engine output shaft. The difference between hp and PS is 1.4 %, so a "300 PS" car is 296 hp.
Motors, generators and tools
Industrial motors are labelled in kW in metric countries and in hp in the US; a 7.5 kW motor is a 10 hp motor. Outboard engines and lawn equipment are still sold by horsepower almost everywhere, while generators are rated in kW or kVA.
