At 1.2 mW, my electric car would need roughly 8.5 millenia to charge. At its average consumption, every kilometer driven would require 35 years of recharging. Like, I don't want to sound too picky, but I guess I'd rather walk tbh.
Almost no one can keep kW and kWh straight, why would you think they could understand MW?
We should have stuck with MJ and MJ/s. No need to get W or h involved.
kW and kWh helps understanding charging speed/capacity better than MJ and MJ/s.
Btw. 1 MJ/s = 1 MW, but you surely know that.
