How conductive is the Earth compared to space ?

How can m/V be an equation but x/V can't ? 

Nobody said anything like that.

Qmax = xt/V isn’t a valid equation, because the LHS has units of charge (coulombs) while the RHS has units of charge * time/volume (assuming your “charge variable” has units of charge)

You do realize this is a different equation than the first one you wrote, right?

No I didn't know sorry , thought I'd just missed out the time value .

I was considering x in a general sense but yes I suppose it must have a unit . Is the math an impossibility because we can't determine how much electrical energy is being grounded ?

Math has rules, and the application of math in science has rules. The math becomes impossible when you violate the rules.
