alt Hacker NewsI was more worried by the 600kW power requirement... that's 200 houses at full load (3kw) in southern europe... which likely means 400 houses at half load.
the town near my hometown has 650 – 800 houses (according to chatgpt).
crazy.

Do you live in a deprived rural village in a very poor country? Because you can't even run a heater and the oven with 3kW.

That’s surprising, 200 amp 240v service is pretty common in the US.

Your hometown also has public lightning, water pumps, and probably some other stuff.
Or it's two 300kW fast EV chargers working together.
A typical home just consumes rather little energy, now that LED lighting and heat pump cooling / heating became the norm.
