Hong Kong Registration Document

Recently took delivery of an S60. On the Registration Document under the heading "Rated Power" it quotes 90 KW. This is the section of the form where Cylinder Capacity is noted for ICE's

I queried this with Tesla and was told don't worry this indicates the battery capacity.

Hmmm.. The units used are clearly KW and not KWh and wouldn't 60 KWh (or 75 KWh) be the expected figure if this was really battery capacity.

Can anyone shed any light on this apparent anomaly?

It is the power of the motor (as rated by Transport Department), and not related to battery capacity at all.

It is required to ensure that the vehicle is powerful enough to be driven on expressways. They are trying to have something comparable to engine size (cc) in ICE vehicles. For the gory details, see here:

Bottom line, so long as it is >=7kWh (for a private car), you are good to go.
