Tangent, but it's always crazy to hear what other countries pay per kWh compared to the 0.4€/kWh in Germany.

Yeah, and Germany is expensive compared to the Nordics. 6.35 c/kWh right now in Finland, 2.54 c/kWh average over the last 30 days.

(clarification: that's euro cent, so 0.0635€ etc)

Yeah, that's pretty low. Even Denmark, right north of Germany, is paying 1/4 of what we pay.

Bay area, California: $0.61 base, $0.80 from 16:00 to 21:00.

Don't worry, there are some places in the USA that are even worse than that, like san diego, san francisco and hawaii

And in Iceland the average is around 0.07€/kWh.
