My gas usage in KWh vastly outweighs my electricity usage.

It's not apples-to-apples though due to the difference in heating efficiency. If you use N kWh to heat your house with a gas boiler, you'll use N/P to heat it with a heat pump. P is something like 3 or 4, depending on various factors (and who you ask).

Yep, just checked and my gas is just under double my electricity for 2025.

9,000kWh for electricity vs 16,000kWh for gas

That’s with charging an EV too.
