About Converting Femtovolts to Kilovolts
Femtovolt and Kilovolt both belong to the electricity family — voltage, current, resistance, power, or energy — units that show up constantly when working across the different standards used by household wiring (120V/240V depending on region), automotive electrical systems (12V/24V), and electronics design. Specifically: Femtovolt is 1e-15 volt units, and kilovolt is 1000 volt units.
Formula
kilovolts = femtovolts × 1e-18
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 femtovolt equals 1e-15 base units, and 1 kilovolt equals 1000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct femtovolt-to-kilovolt factor of 1e-18.
Simple example
1 fV × 1e-18 = 1e-18 kV
1 femtovolt = 1e-18 kilovolts.
Real-world example
120 fV × 1e-18 = 1.2e-16 kV
120 femtovolts = 1.2e-16 kilovolts.

Reverse conversion: Kilovolt to Femtovolt
1e-18 kV × 1e+18 = 1 fV
1e-18 kilovolts = 1 femtovolt.
femtovolts = kilovolts × 1e+18

Frequently asked questions
How many kilovolts are in 1 femtovolt?
1 femtovolt equals 1e-18 kilovolts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert femtovolt to kilovolt?
Multiply the femtovolt value by 1e-18. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert kilovolt back to femtovolt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 kilovolt equals 1e+18 femtovolts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a femtovolt?
Femtovolt (fV) is a unit of electricity.
What is a kilovolt?
Kilovolt (kV) is a unit of electricity.
Is the femtovolt to kilovolt conversion exact?
Yes. Both femtovolt and kilovolt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1e-18 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between voltage, current, and resistance?
Voltage (volts) is the electrical potential difference driving current through a circuit. Current (amperes) is the rate of flow of electric charge. Resistance (ohms) is how much a component opposes that flow. They're related by Ohm's law (V = I × R), but they are distinct physical quantities, and this page converts between units of just one of them.
