For what it's worth, my average kWh per month use is 1,729 over the past 12 months. That's with an all-electric 2,300 sq ft home in the south (use more power in the summer than in the winter). And it includes charging the EV for 16K miles in the past 12 months (1,300 miles per month, not counting charging about 1K miles per month away from home in the total 28K miles we drove it the past 12 months).
That's how much power we're looking at the grid needing per home if we went all-electric and all-EV. (I pull less power from the grid now than before I went all electric because I have home solar providing 80% of my power. But most people won't do that, for some it wouldn't be feasible. The numbers I gave above is not from my grid-pull, it's from how much my inverters report they put onto my electrical panels -- how much power my home needed regardless of how much of it came from solar or batteries or the grid.)
Thnaks for that- we dont have all electric yet thankfully- our heater is oil, but rest of appliances of course are electric- but now ev
our electric per month, 3 in household, Is around 800-900 kwh per month while the state average is supposedly around 650 kwh, which I don’t understand as we no longer are doing 3 loads of laundry a day, or numerous showers a day like when it was 5 of us, we cut heat at night down to 60, only use ,iving room and kitchen, most of the day so lights not on all over house, don’t use oven often (mostly use microwave to heat up leftovers- use oven maybe 3 times a week for frying food, or occasionally baking a ha. Or turkey or whatever)
We should actually be below state average, as we are very co servative with electric use, but nope, we are 200-300 kwh more per month than average. I have to beleive that the state average is due to a good number of “snow-birds” shutting down house for Winter and heading south for winter.
All our appliances are “energy efficient” models too.
I suspect though something fishy might be going on as some days when we weren’t home for the day, our electric for the day shot up to 45 kwh- up from average of 25 kwh- this has happened a few times - even on days when we don’t do anything g out of the ordinary (ie no oven or Landry for the day)
