there's no way that heat pumps and EVs will go online there or here without significant infrastructure improvement, but it's a false dilemma to imagine that the current grid has to accommodate all of that now. Grid update can come quickly if the government gets itself out of the way and incentivizes it. The same thing will occur here.Still, my gas furnace draws about 400 watts when it's running.a heat pump on a cold day here (ground source) probably still averages 5kw continuous. BILs is on a 60 amp switch for a 2400 square foot house (that's 240v) and I would guess that when the helper coil runs on really cold days, it can use most of that.can't imagine trying to run something like that off of a battery.
