Colloquially "metric" means the SI-system though. It's not all prescriptively correct terms. Hell, even the name isn't, as the French and English couldn't
So I'm not goanna say your wrong per se. But you're not exactly right either
In what way am I not right? We’re talking about an electric motor for automobiles, and I gave a metric unit that automakers use. What’s more, I also gave it in kW! 🤣
Automakers using a unit doesn't make it metric.

Got it. Metric horsepower isn’t metric. Forgive me for thinking a recognized metric unit is metric. And also for not putting the kW conversion in bold or something.
