What is kilowatts in a car?

A watt is simply the SI unit for power, and the horsepower is the Imperial unit for power. Power is simply the rate of doing work, so there is no such thing as 'electrical' or any other, 'sort' of power. In Europe, a car's engine output power ('brake power') is expressed in kilowatts as the horsepower is considered obsolete.

Why rating of motor is given in HP?

Motors are only rated in horsepower in North America, in most other countries, they are rated in watts. The reason for doing so, is that a motor's power is always expressed in terms of its output power -that is the maximum power it can supply to its mechanical load. If, as in North America, a mechanical load is expressed in horsepower, then so is the output of the motor; if, as elsewhere, a mechanical load is expressed in watts, then so is the output of the motor.Don't forget a horsepower is simply the Imperial unit for power, whereas the watt is the SI (metric) equivalent. 1 HP = 746 watts.
