All electric charging station that i have ever encounter are in "kW" not in watt (ex: 3 kW, 50 kW, 120 kW, 175 kW...). To me, it is the same as the maxspeed tag, we don't put it in m/h but in km/h -> we use the common unit as everyone use it. Thus we don't use the SI value everywhere and that seem logical, so here it seems ok to me to leave it in kW.
