But it doesn't have to be that everyone is standing/sitting at their workplace at 8:00 a.m. This inflexible way of thinking is the biggest obstacle that will still cost us dearly. Just like the mindset "I always have to have 2 cars fully charged in front of the door, in case my wife and I have to spontaneously pick up one child from Upper Bavaria and the other from North Frisia, separately..." Nonsense. Cars are not vehicles, cars are parking devices. A passenger car is designed for about 5,000 operating hours, which at an average speed of 50 km/h equals 250,000 km. From this you can already see that most cars don’t even reach this rather short lifespan. Of the 8,760 hours in a year, a normally used car maybe drives 500 hours. The remaining 8,260 hours it just stands around and takes up space. This cannot go on like this ;) If you want to increase your consumption, then start mining cryptocurrencies. You can hardly use excess energy better if you absolutely want to "waste" it.
