I hope it's a good bit cheaper than that, I pay close to $400/mo for electricity and I'm in no way interested in paying anything like that for AI.

Jeeze, what are you doing that uses so much electricity?

I live in Germany where people won't stop whining about electricity prices, and I pay 75€/mo.

Easy to get there without doing anything abnormal, 2 EVs and a large 5 bedroom house that gets air conditioned / heated, in a location that does time of use pricing. My bill is closer to $200/mo but if I didn’t have solar & battery it’d be in the $400 range.

It will be cheaper than electricity - but your electricity will become a lot more expensive to enable that!

If it can automate your time by more than that it's a good trade.
