@edavies@functional.cafe Looks like the problem originated in the addition of English subtitles to a video of Marcel Aumer saying this in German: he says "gigawatt", the subtitles say "gigawatt hours".

@edavies@functional.cafe (Incidentally, I think the word he says after "gigawatt" is "gleichstrom", which Google Translate informs me means "DC".)

@only_ohm@mas.to Ah, useful background. But what's worrying is that none of the writers or subeditors down the chain picked up the mistake. https://newatlas.com/ claims to cover “Science, Tech, Outdoor & Innovation News” so it's really the sort of thing they should know about.
