Measuring consumption in energy per distance, with energy in kWh and distance in 100 km is the most common in Canada. Yes, we can do the conversion but having matching units is a convenience.
I fully agree. It bothers me every time I use ABRP. I have not seen “Wh/km” anywhere except in this app. Please add kWh/100km to the list of consumption units, or let me know where I can open a pull request.

I don't know which is more common, but this is the format used by my VW ID.4. Likewise, the standard for gas mileage is L/100 km not mL/km.
It's also easier for mental arithmetic because even level 2 chargers are measured in kW and batteries are sized in kWh.
I know Wh/km is in use on some cars (Leaf I think?), so there's no need to remove it, but the extra option would be appreciated since the format is already selectable.

Power consumption in —> kWh/100km
Please implement the units „kWh/100km“ which is more convincing then „Wh/km“. It’s just nicer/easier to read.

not in Canada, but most of the world
