Jesus, what's your utilization or price per kWh? I use a shitload of electricity (around 2000kWh per month and my utility provider says average is more like 800) and my bill has never exceeded $300, even with an EV that I drive 1200 miles a month
He just posted a picture of his bill in a reply to me if you want to take a look at it.
For reasons I'm not sure about, I posted a screenshot of my bill below in answer to the quack telling me I don't know what my bill was.
We live in the upper, larger portion of the house and there is a suite downstairs. I'm not sure what they get up to, but the cost is high. We have led lights, central ac which we only use conservatively. Other power sucks would be the extra fridge in garage I guess, so the household (with the suite) runs 3 fridges, 2 sets of laundry machines and 2 dishwashers. Our range is gas.
I have no idea how the bill is so high. I can only imagine how much higher it would be if I charged a vehicle on top - though I do understand that would eliminate the $120/week I spend on gasoline
