  I’m all for paying my electric bill in horsepower/hours. That feels very American. How many V8s is my house?

    I’d be horsepower * hour, since horsepower is a unit, of, well, power, and [Energy] = [Power]*[Time]

    But might as well go for an obscure time unit as well at that point. Horsepower Sennights, baby

      Hmm but couldn’t we then also go even further and assume an idealized muscle car with an effective transmission to its wheels of 1:1 running at its optimal torque vs speed point and thus with a given speed of its wheels rotation for a given time?

      Aka convert energy into miles (traveled) or something (with the choice of motor and wheel diameter and everything else standardized ofc.)?

        so you’re saying we should use truck miles?
