There's no such unit as amps per hour or watts per hour. That's like saying "gallons per minute per hour." It's a meaningless unit. Amp-hours per hour and Watt-hours per hour are technically real units, but they're normally called amps and Watts respectively. Think of the slash that means "per" in AH/h as a division sign. The hour terms cancel each other out and you get just amps, because hour / hour == 1. If the EV has a 7.2kW charger and charging takes 4 hours from 100% DOD, that means that (neglecting losses) the battery capacity is (4 hours * 7.2 kilowatts) == (4 * 7.2) (kilowatts * hours) == 28.8 kilowatt hours.
