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.

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%
