How the conversion works
Multiply by 3,600,000 to go from kilowatt-hour to joule, or divide by it to go back. Every conversion on this site routes through the SI value (J) rather than a table of pairwise factors, so a round-trip returns exactly what you started with.
Going the other way? joule to kilowatt-hour — 1 J = 2.777777778e-07 kWh.
