convertimate Energy per volume

Kilowatt-hours per liter to megajoules per liter

Type a value in kWh/L to get it in MJ/L instantly.

129.6MJ/L

That's 3.4× as energy-dense as diesel — nothing on our list beats it. A 50-liter tank of it would hold about 1,800 kWh.

What it means

How much fits in a liter?

Fuels use the higher heating value; batteries are usable electrical energy per liter of cell. Gases are at atmospheric pressure unless stated.

The math

How to convert kWh/L to MJ/L

To convert kilowatt-hours per liter to megajoules per liter, multiply by 3.6.

Example: 36 kWh/L × 3.6 = 129.6 MJ/L.

In the other direction, 1 MJ/L = 0.277778 kWh/L.
