Update: I am actually searching for really simple, intuitive ways to explain it. I have a background in engineering, but am struggling to explain why we “pay for kwh”, and not kw (on our electricity bill) to someone who doesn’t. I have tried in many ways but maybe I’m not giving the right examples or making the right comparisons. I am really searchig for a way to ELI5.

KW is ambiguous from financial perspective. For example, if I tell X uses 1kw, you don’t really know how much you have to pay for it at the end of the day. kWh include this information. If I tell you X uses 1kwh you can easily calculate your cost.
