That is obscenely high. Where I live, it would cost over ~~150k~~ 7k USD to use that much power every day for a whole year. How is it even possible to use this much energy??

This means that you pay ~4 USD per kWH. That's almost 12 times more expensive than in Germany where electricity is supposedly expensive. Where do you live?

I pay around 0.20/kWh, but I made a mistake in my calculations! It would “only” cost 600$/month or 7’200 a year.
