The difference between kW(kilowatts) and bhp(brake horse power) is down to which system of measurement you are using. kW is from the metric system (meters, kilometers, grams etc) while bhp is from the emperial system (pounds, inches, yards etc). A quick Google search will bring up many easy calculations to convert between the two.
On vehicles both are usually measured by a dynamometer (or dyno for short) of which there are two types - Inertial mass acceleration and brake force (names vary by country or manufacturer. A brake force dyno is used to measure bhp as the name implies.

There is no difference in the meaning of kWh or KWH. Both forms of writing kWh mean "kilo watt hours," and the format acceptable to most in the technical community is "kWh."AnswerThe correct symbol for kilowatt hour is kW.h.
How many watt is equal to 1kilowatt?
1 kilowatt = 1000 watt ==> 1 watt = 0.001 kilowatt
What unit of measurement is most used to measure electricity?
The watt or kilowatt (1000 watts) for power, volts for potential difference, amps for current
Does amps express the difference in energy?
No, amps (amperes) do not directly express the difference in energy. Amps measure electrical current, which is the flow of electric charge. Energy is typically measured in units such as joules or kilowatt-hours.
