Solving Coulomb Barrier: Calculating Energy w/e2 Units

[cwetteland]

OK need some help with units. I am trying calculate the energy to surmount the coulomb barrier. the relationship is basic, but I can't remember how the units of e2 (1.440 ev nm) come about. thanks

... they don't - that figure is incorrect.
It is $ke^2$ that has dimensions of energy-length.
