Casos de Uso del Mundo Real

En España, los coches se anuncian con la potencia en CV (caballos de vapor) —un Seat León 1.5 TSI tiene 150 CV— mientras que las especificaciones técnicas internacionales usan kW. 1 CV = 0,7355 kW, así que 150 CV ≈ 110 kW. Los compradores de coches eléctricos comparan potencias de carga: un cargador rápido de 50 kW o 150 kW. Las placas solares en tejados españoles se miden en kW pico (kWp). La potencia contratada en el hogar con las compañías eléctricas (Iberdrola, Endesa, Naturgy) va de 3,45 kW (piso pequeño) a 5,75 kW (casa grande). Los aires acondicionados se especifican en frigorías (1 frigoría = 1,163 W). Las resistencias de cocción de vitrocerámicas van de 1,2 a 2,2 kW. En el gimnasio, las bicicletas estáticas miden el esfuerzo en vatios —un ciclista aficionado mantiene 150-200 W. En motos, las naked de 600 cc (~100 CV) compiten con versiones de 70 kW. Las bombillas LED se compran en vatios (7-15 W), reemplazando a las incandescentes de 60-100 W.
