This is why toasters and kettles suck in North America. It takes forever to boil your
water for a cup of tea and toast some bread. We only get 15 amp peak (de-rated to 12 amp
continuous) at 120v. That s only 1440 watts.
I get 20A for the whole apartment for 20 hours per day, 10A from a filthy diesel generator
for the other 4.
The state supply costs me about 15 bucks a month (flat fee, they don't meter here) and
the generator costs me about 70..
