    OP mentions this delivering 3kWh on a typical day, about 10% of a typical US household’s consumption.

    Wow, this is much. If you are correct, a typical US household consumes two times the energy than a typical german household.

    The last numbers I found where from 2021 with 5411 kWh for a household with 3 or more people.

      Can’t even use a bit more powerful drill without blowing the fuses in some older european houses, because the old wiring is too weak.

      Yeah that one made me whiplash as well. Jesus, we thought we blew out the meter at 17kwh in a shitty aussie rental during a brutal winter with oil heaters

      I didn’t know if it’s correct, but consider that nanny (most?) use natural gas for heating, cooling, cooking, and got water, so those aren’t Even counted!
