1 Kilowatt = 1.3410 Horsepower. You could have googled it though!

So if you had 200kw, you would multiply 200 X 1.3410. (268.2 HP)

Power (kW) = Power (HP) x 0.7457

Power (HP) = Power (kW) x 1.341

Theoretically kw @ motor = hp @ wheels (not accurate but general guide)

Pretty sure what SweetWagon posted is quite correct.

eg:
300kw x 1.341 = 402.3 hp
