in some European countries we have a special kind of horsepower that’s called the “tax horsepower” (cheval fiscal, symbol CV in France), or “what kind of eldritch formula do we need to transform that unit into a vehicle classification tool for tax purposes”.
We’ve had several formulas, and the current one has come around to being kind of an actual (rounded) power unit. Previous ones involved carbon dioxide levels, gearbox efficiency and whether you’re using gasoline or diesel.
So if I am applying one of those, I believe a horse has exactly NaN CV.
