Yes, you are correct. As the SI brochure states: "Compound prefix symbols, i.e. prefix symbols formed by the juxtaposition of two or more prefix symbols, are not permitted."

Unfortunately, almost no one uses SI units and/or prefixes correctly.

I have another alternative: you could simply prefix the km with ,000
