Thanks, I will try turning the hot tub off for 24 hours and see what difference that makes as an initial test.

Hot-tubs are a very significant waste of energy, especially the cheaper ones that have poor insulation.

Why would the OP want to know what others were using when it transpires that he's charging a car, heating a hot tub, lighting up the street with Xmas lights and for all we know growing cannabis as well. 

Its a bit like asking everyone what their fuel consumption is when you are happily roaring around in a HumVee.  Totally irrelevant

Maybe they were hoping that someone else also had a hot tub and an electric car?

Or maybe a very quick way of seeing if the hot tub was likely consuming a vast amount without having to monitor it.

I will then try 24 hours without charging the car.

Cheers.

How did you get on? We're dying to know!

I suspect they are having a nice cold soak in the hot tub

Add salt, pepper, along with an assortment of vegetables & herbs. Let it simmer for a few hours. Not sure how many people a hot tub of (ooman) bean stew will serve.

My daily usage of electric varies from 3.5kWh on a Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed to 9kWh on a Thurs then back to 3.5kWh on a Fri then jumps to 5.3kWh on a Sat, this gives a daily average of 4.54kWh. The gas it just depends on when I have the heating on but last week I used 62.5kWh, 8.92kWh per day.

I’m still trying to get my head around someone using an average of 55 khw a day. By my calculations that’s £19 a day on electricity alone.
