What does one electron-volt represent?

An electron-volt is the energy an electron gains when accelerated through an electric potential difference of one volt, commonly used in atomic and particle physics.

Where is the therm (EC) unit typically used?

The therm (EC) is predominantly used in European contexts for natural gas billing, metering, and energy statistics.

Why is converting electron-volts to therm (EC) uncommon?

Because electron-volts are extremely small compared to therms (EC), this conversion is mostly relevant for theoretical or specialized comparative studies.
