<tt>I'd vote for kW aswell (and a value of "22" then), since we're
not always using SI and not always base-unit-values (see
kilometers per hour).</tt><br>

<br>
the OSM-Wiki-page on charging stations [1] defines the tag <br>
socket:<type>:output=watt<br>
<br>
wheres the examples contain values like "22 kW".<br>
<br>
What would the preferred format be? "22000" or "22 kW"? I
would like to <br>
clearify this on the wiki-page.<br>
<br>
Personally I would prefer "22000" as it fits with other
OSM-values (no <br>
units).</blockquote>

<div>generally people are encouraged to add units for
disambiguation reasons and to use locally used units and
preferably SI units.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For power, no default units are currently specified on this
page:<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>And it doesn't even mention horsepower for power, a unit
that for many people may be more evocative than Watt
(everybody can imagine 30 horses, but how much are 22 kW?) ;-)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Personally, if we were to set up a default for power units,
I would prefer kW, because if we'd use Watt we will get very
high numbers for MW (e.g. needed for power generators).
Presuming, we would have the same standard unit for all things
power, and not different defaults for socket and say power
stations.</div>
