Volts
If you want to get pedantic about it they actually are-:
Volt = Joules per Coloumb
Therefore Fundamentally-:
Volt =kilograms metres^2 Amps^-1 seconds^-3
(That is straight from my poster in my Physics office - which incidentally was designed by James Maxwell - as I am in the 'Maxwell Building')

The Unit of Potential Difference (PD) is the 'VOLT', Electro-Motive Force. (It can be likened to Pressure Difference (PD). A liquid or gas flows in a pipeline due to the PD along its length the greater the PD, the faster the fluid flow. The Higher the PD in a circuit, the greater the current flow). (I hope you wanted a simple answer ?).

Well they are Joules per Coulomb.
Which means kg m^2 s^-2 C^-1.
Volts are a derived unit.

potential difference
=work done/charge
=(forceXdistance)/(currentXtime)
=(massXaccelerationXdistance)/(currentXtime)
=>(kgXms^-2Xm)/(As)
=kgm^2s^-3A^-1
