Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert between kW and PS (horsepower)?

Multiply kW by 1.3596 to get PS. Divide PS by 1.3596 to get kW. For example, 100 kW equals approximately 136 PS. Since 2010, kW is the official unit in EU vehicle documents.

Why are there different horsepower units?

German PS (Pferdestaerke) and metric horsepower are identical (735.5 watts). British/American HP (horsepower) is slightly different (745.7 watts). The difference is small but exists.

What is the PS to kW Converter — 100, 150, 204 HP to kW?

The PS-kW converter switches between metric horsepower (PS) and kilowatts (kW) — the units used on German vehicle registration papers. Popular conversions: 100 PS to kW = 73.55 kW; 150 PS to kW = 110 kW; 204 PS to kW = 150 kW; 245 PS to kW = 180 kW.

How does the PS to kW Converter — 100, 150, 204 HP to kW work?

Enter a value in kW or PS — the calculator converts instantly. Formulas: PS = kW × 1.35962. kW = PS × 0.7355. German Fahrzeugschein (vehicle registration) lists kW; advertising uses PS.

Key Data and Facts

1 kW = 1.35962 PS. 1 PS = 0.7355 kW. Common conversions: 75 PS = 55.2 kW. 100 PS = 73.55 kW. 136 PS = 100 kW. 150 PS = 110 kW. 163 PS = 120 kW. 204 PS = 150 kW. 245 PS = 180 kW. 272 PS = 200 kW.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step-by-step: 1. Choose direction — kW to PS or PS to kW. 2. Enter value — instant conversion. 3. Formulas: PS = kW × 1.35962; kW = PS × 0.7355. 4. Context: kW is the SI unit on official German vehicle papers (Zulassungsbescheinigung Teil I). PS remains common in everyday speech and adverts. 5. Typical vehicle power: city cars 55-75 kW (75-102 PS), mid-size 100-150 kW (136-204 PS), sports cars from 200 kW (272 PS). VW Golf GTI 180 kW = 245 PS; BMW M340i 285 kW = 387 PS. 6. German Kfz-Steuer is based on displacement + CO2, NOT on kW/PS. But insurance premiums scale with engine power.

Calculation Example

Common Fahrzeugschein conversions: 110 kW = 149.6 PS (~150 PS). 150 kW = 204 PS. 180 kW = 244.7 PS (~245 PS). 200 PS = 147.1 kW. 204 PS = 150.0 kW. 245 PS = 180.2 kW.
