Having an EV you learn about the basics of electric power, charge rates and kilowatt-hours or KWh. . For example the LEAF has a 24 KWh battery pack, and a full pack is good for around 100 miles. Very basic maths gives the LEAF a power usage of close to 4 miles per KWh. In other words, power is energy per unit of time.
