It's the only measurement like that in all of my dealings AFAIK. RPM, hertz, watts, amps, velocity, are all things that we deal with on the daily that are expressed as number of things per 1 unit of something. When charging, out and about, calculating how long I need to stay plugged in to get to a certain SoC is calculated out by the hour on level 2 chargers (not fast enough to bump up against the charge curve so the charge rate is practically linear). Even paying for fuel is listed as currency per 1 L (or gal here in the US).

Here's my usage so far for the year:

Even then, I want to measure that in terms of cost so multiplying that number by my rate is how to calculate the long term cost which is still currency per 1 kWh. Which for me works out to $371 for the year on charging at home.
