๐Ÿ“ฑ firms have chased faster charging for a long ๐Ÿ•‘ now. What if the trend of higher efficiency starts? Electricity isn't free. What if the charger makers market the efficiency markedly? There may be an efficiency race, just like the long-running power race. Some may pick a 370-W but more efficient charger over a 400-W but less efficient 1. I'm talking re the future, so mad values. Ideally, the engineers can make a 400-W and incredibly efficient charger. Thoughts?

I'm surprised your fridge consumes that much compared to your AC.

I don't have smart plugs, only whole house monitoring through the p1 port, but it looks like the fridge barely has an impact when my AC is running. But maybe over a whole day it's more than I realise.

    It's also fridge+freezer, and it's 24.86kWh for this year so far.

    117.1kWh/180d = 0.65kWh a day (about 26W per hour)

    I like how our measurements do not line up perfectly what I (and others) expect. I for example would have expected the cook top to use much more energy
