Convert
Accuracy and rounding
Use energy units for accumulated work or heat. Do not confuse kWh with kW, which is power rather than energy.
Energy units share a fixed joule reference. Food Calories are kilocalories, while a small calorie is 4.1868 joules.
For billing, nutrition, or engineering, match the precision of the original joules data and keep the energy/power distinction explicit.
How to convert eV to joules
- Type the eV value in the calculator.
- Keep eV selected as the from unit and joules selected as the to unit.

Common questions
How do I convert eV to joules?
Enter the eV value in the converter, or multiply by the factor shown in the formula. 1 eV = 1.60218e-19 J.
What should I watch out for?
Do not confuse energy with power: kWh is accumulated energy, while kW is a rate of energy transfer.
Where does this energy conversion come from?
Energy factors from NIST SI conversion tables, using the joule as the shared reference unit. ConverterBase uses stable definitions and fixed conversion factors, not live or rounded market data.
