Good morning everyone,
I wanted to ask what your house’s electricity consumption is at night when everything is quiet and sleeping, so what is running continuously?
We have a newly built house, moved in summer 2019. Our building services include underfloor heating (air-to-water heat pump), controlled mechanical ventilation (runs at full power 3 times a day for 2 hours each, then reduced), a photovoltaic system, and otherwise the usual nighttime appliances (phone charger plugged into USB outlet, e-bikes charging occasionally, 2 TVs on standby, Alexas on standby, etc.).
At night, we have a continuous consumption of about 232W (with ventilation running at reduced power and when the heat pump is not producing). I can see this in the app for the photovoltaic system. From 0:00 to 6:30 a.m. we consume about 2.8 kWh.
How about you?
Best regards

Yes, cars are a lot of fun. I just had to learn that a car costing 12,000 euros can be just as enjoyable as one costing 80,000 euros. I wouldn’t have thought that before, but you’re always learning in life .I can’t agree with that. My 2.5-year-old Fiat Freemont was a disaster. Now I have a GLC, and not only is driving more enjoyable, it’s also reliable.
Got a brand new car with an electric motor and top features for 12,000, thanks to government incentives. Very lively and driving feels like a go-kart. Don’t want anything else anymore and definitely no combustion engine. I pay no taxes and only about 3 euros in running costs per 100 km (62 miles).
Bookstar, you’re expecting triplets?! Wow! Hats off to this change of heart. I mean that sincerely.
After a test drive myself, I ordered an e-up immediately. It’s simply fun to drive, and with subsidies, it’s cheaper than a comparable gasoline car. Unfortunately, the delivery still takes some time.

I got a fantastic new car with an electric motor and top features for 12,000, thanks to government incentives. It’s very responsive and feels like a go-kart to drive. I don’t want anything else and definitely no combustion engine anymore. I pay no tax and the running costs are just 3 euros per 100 km (about $3.50 per 62 miles). With a 200 km (125 miles) range? We would also like to get one. However, we often like to travel longer distances (although not at the moment). And I’m a bit put off by the current infrastructure for electric cars.
The infrastructure for long-distance travel is quite adequate already, but unfortunately expensive. And the mentioned little vehicle simply isn’t designed for that purpose, keyword Rapidgate. You have to add $10,000 to get a model that can charge quickly and repeatedly without issues.
But progress is being made. We are on the way.
