Quantity of Electricity is measured in Coulombs (as standardized by NIST in SI physics units.)

Other electrical quantities are:

Rate of electricity flow or current, coulombs per second, defined as Amperes

Electrical potential: Volts

Other units (not necessarily electrical)

Energy: joules

Rate of energy flow: joules of energy per second, defined as Watts

Additional Answer

In the United Kingdom, electricity companies charge their customers by the 'unit'.

The term 'unit' is short for the obsolete expression 'Board of Trade Unit', and is a measurement of electrical energy, equivalent to a kilowatt-hour. (KW.h for short.) So, 1 unit = 1 kW.h.
