      According to my quick calculations- my current home tariff is 31p per kilowatt hour

      A Tesla model 3 has a 62kWh - so about £19 to recharge. If I’m staying there a couple of weeks and intend to drive heavily that would mount up. I’d definitely check with the house owner as a courtesy

        Air conditioning is usually 55 kWh per day. Electric furnaces are 25 kWh per day. Going to check with them before you use that too?

          Air conditioning isn’t generally used in the UK, and no way would it take 55kWh a day to bring one of our houses a few degrees down. Most UK households use less than 10kWh a day total.

          There’s absolutely no way that this home owner in North Wales would have aircon.

          But use of a built in appliance is not the same as running a cable out to power something that is likely to double the household’s normal usage. Just ask.
