<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The use of 'multipliers' is common .. <br>
<br>
As well as kilometers per hour (100 kmh would be come 100,000 mh
without the multiplier) there is mass kg and tonnes .. (10kg would
be come 10,000 g with the multiplier) , elevation in meters and
kilometers etc. <br>
<br>
Preference should be for what is commonly used for that particular
amount and feature. <br>
<br>
I would leave this alone - let the mapper use that thing that
should be applied - common sense. <br>

<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>
