Christ, 1350kWh in 46 dayswhat are you running? Family etc? I've been estimating bills on about 4000kWh a year, including EV charging
EV (approx 15k miles a year), hotwater, house and cooking. Me, wife and 2 kids. There's another 480approx units there thst the solar has generated that's obviously not billed for. That's about 40 a day. The car takes 25 a day so the house is only using 15, which is quite low IMHO considering we have no gas.
Electric heating..![]()
Yea fair enough. I always forget about all-electric homeswe're gonna be gas heating (combi) and hob at the new place so probably helps my estimate to be so low, plus low mileage in an EV (4k miles-ish).
When you have both ovens going and all 4 hobs on the bora the meeter spins round very quickly!
Log burner and oil for our heating.

I'll bet!
Do you charge your battery overnight too? I guess that'd be a yes over winter and then solar provides a good deal of the charging for you over summer etc? I'll have a run back through the thread to see if you've detailed what your setup is![]()
Sorry I was just saying how you can get such high usage, not that you were on electric, badly worded on my part.![]()
I've had to cut down to one oven, until I extend, and that isn't looking likely anytime soon. It's a blessing and a curse.
Many are listed buildings so cant even put solar on the roof.. might be worth going on economy 7 and heating hot water at night.God help the rural people with only storage heaters for heating, we know of people with £3000+ a year electric costs from last year, before the increases.
It looks like it could double in the next 12 months. Cant see how they will manage the cost increase.
If you have a drive I personally don't see the point of a battery like a Powerwall as you could get vehicle-to-house/grid charger installed and use the 50kw+ elec car battery sitting on your drive.
Well in theory you'll be with the car, at work etc not at home so energy consumption will be as low as it gets. Otherwise I guess someone stole your carWhat happens when the car isn’t on the drive?

If you're using your car as the battery for your house, what happens when you want to use the car and your house has used half its charge?
