A Volt is a measure of electric potential which means electric potential energy per unit of charge (J/C). An electron volt is the energy obtained by an electron as it accelerates across a potential difference of one volt.
1 eV = 1J/C* 1.602x10^-19 C = 1.602 x 10^-19 J

The energy required to move one electron across 2 points with an electric potential of 1 Volt is 1 eV.
Volt is a measure of electric potential, like how eagerly the electrons want to move from one place to another across 2 points.
eV is a measure of energy. Refer back to the first paragraph.

An electron volt is a unit of energy, while voltage is measure electric potential energy per unit charge. An electron volt is defined as the kinetic energy acquired by a particle with unit charge e (the charge magnitude of the electron) by traversing a potential difference of one volt.

An electron volt is the energy given to an electron by accelerating it through 1 volt of electric potential difference.
1 electron volt is 1.6 *10^-19 J
(E=qV)
One volt is the force required to send one amp of electrical current through a resistance of one ohm
