Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (joule (J)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 kWh = 3600000 joule (J)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 eV = 1.602177 × 10⁻¹⁹ joule (J)
Step-by-step substitution for Kilowatt-hour → Electron-volt:V(eV) = V(kWh) × ( 3600000 / 1.602177 × 10⁻¹⁹ ) = V(kWh) × 2.246943 × 10²⁵
