With a household of 4 and doing everything electrical (cooking, heating, hot water but no electric car) we use on average about 9-10 kWh per day. A bit more in the winter, a bit less in summer. This is a well-insulated, relatively recent house in western Europe. 100kWh seems excessive to me.

This is a 45 year old house with crappy isolation. Compared with similar households in the area our consumption is about 20% higher than average.

Wow, that's really impressive! I'm jealous!

I live in a just ok, older, 65m^2 (700sq ft) apartment in the midwest US with one other person. Everything is electric except the water heater.

We average about 30kWh/day in winter and summer, and about 15-20kWh/day in the fall and spring.

And here I thought my ~5 year old house was efficient at 25-30kw per day. Granted I do charge my ev. But my heating and water, water and oven are gas.
