Only the very most efficient electric cars achieve 4 miles per kwh and only under carefully monitored conditions in tests the manufacturers and government have conceived to make them seem more fuel efficient than they really are... In real life the results people get are typically about much less than what is claimed and this is more true for electric vehicles than gasoline. It is no secret that people in the EPA are pushing people toward electric vehicles.
Once your air conditioner gets your room or house down to the desired temperature the thermostat turns off the compressor. So depending on the outside temperature and how well your house is insulated an air conditioner is using its rated power only a fraction of the time. Only whole house heat pumps use 3kw per hour. Your typical 6000 btu window unit uses less than 500 watts 1/6th of the load you are mentioning.
Is anyone else tired of people pushing “green energy” schemes who make misleading statements?
Are you crazy, a whole house electric heater in Texas is on a 50 amp 240v breaker and the whole house AC unit is on a 30 amp with the blower on a 15 amp 120v. 60% of Texans have electric heat as was demonstrated in February when they crashed the grid in record cold temps. 50 amps is 12 kWh, 30 is 7.2, resistance heaters are 10kw and they run on a 30% over a 24 hour duty cycle typically.
I have dual HVAC both on 30 amps when they are roaring it’s 60amps draw with both blowers running on high. My home circuit is a 300 amp grid tie the guest house is 200 for a 500 amp total to the pole.
