Ford’s electric pickup can power a house for days

The assumption is apparently[0] 30 kWh/day counting as "full usage," giving 3 days of runtime. Rationing that can give you up to 10 days, implying 9 kWh/day.

I have a full electric house in central Texas, and my daily usage in the summer is around 2000 kWh, so I could get about 1.5 days of power if I did nothing to ration it. If you have a gas water heater, stove, dryer, etc. it'll obviously stretch out.

What are you using (and how large is your house) that draws 2000kWh a day? This is an amazing amount of power draw. The average monthly draw for a house is under 1000kWh.

Just guessing, but based on context, I think they meant their daily usage results in 2000kWh per month.

2000kWh a day? Our apartment houses family of 4 and we spend 2400 kWh a year (incl. electric stove)
