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.

Would it be fair to charge the same to 2 people?
One has their 1KW electric fire on for an hour.
The other has their 1KW electric fire on for 2 hours. They used twice as much electricity so they pay twice as much.
