I'm an example more towards the middle.

In 2025 I produced 6.5MWh (solar) and consumed 12.7MWh (excluding solar production); this is a family of 4 in a 4 season climate with electric heating and a single electric car.

That was my highest year over the past 5 years.

An additional EV can really add up, especially if both people have long commutes.

They have no commutes. They both work from home. I don’t even understand why they need two cars for that.
