About the units

Metric horsepower (PS)

75 kgf⋅m/s, exactly 735.49875 W — about 1.4% less than mechanical horsepower. European car brochures often quote PS.

Megawatt (MW)

One million watts; used for power plants and wind turbines (a modern onshore turbine is 3–6 MW). One megawatt equals 1,000,000 watts (W).
