There's nothing 'average' about using 200 kWh/day in the US. Where I live in the US, the average temperature (not the high!) is in the upper 80s right now. My home is not large by US standards, but it is old and not nearly as well insulated as a newer home. The A/C runs continuously for hours on end each day, and right now we are using 35-40 kWh/day.
So yeah, I'm pretty sure most of that 200 kWh/day is going to charge the car.
- sokoloff 3y ago200kWh is about 700 miles of charge (and he says he doesn’t charge every day). There’s something weird going on, but it’s definitely not typical usage. I suspect an instrumentation/configuration problem before I’d suspect an average usage of almost 5x mine.

- trompetenaccoun 3y agoEdit: Sorry I made a stupid mistake. Should be 30kWh/day! That tracks much better with your own figure. Ignore the blow. --------------------------------------------------- You're right, most use less because they don't charge a car. The average seems to be about double that though at ~74 kWh/day: https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=97&t=3 https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=97&t=3 Taking that average it would take around 2 weeks to reach my yearly consumption. Should be noted that's for something like 2.7 people, mine is a two person household.
- jackmott42 3y agocharging a car is ~20kwh a day, not 150
- jackmott42 3y agoeven if he fully charged the car from 0 to 100% every day, that isn't half of 200kwh
