These are very informative numbers one reads nowhere in the news. From destatis[0], we go from 608 in 2019 to 514TWh in 2023. So not the same absolute values, but same trend. Thank you.

We often read equivalent figures in the British news, as it shows the energy efficiency push of the last 30 years has reduced power use, leaving space for charging electric vehicles.

Efficiency, sure, but also industry getting wiped out.

Industry which didn't care for investing into energy at all.

For a car its btw. 1%
