Common pitfalls and look-alike units
The horsepower used in Chinese car specs is usually the metric horsepower (PS): 1 PS = 735.49875 W. The mechanical (imperial) horsepower (hp) is about 745.7 W, roughly 1.4% larger, so check whether a spec says PS or hp. The SI unit of power is the watt, and the kilowatt on a motor nameplate is the standard figure.
