Some it could be in the summer others it will be in the winter.
What is your largest power usage day? Maybe the day you did laundry and it was cold out or hot outside.

I will start it off we hit a 100 kwh this winter. We charged the car 3 + times. Each complete charge is about 12 kwh car charging was about 40 kwh. a normal day it is 24 – 30 kwh in the winter.

Our dryer has two heating elements and use 6.6kwh when both are on. It was a very cold day….

I should add that day was sunny and we made 70 kwh with solar power.

I know we don’t talk much about max usage but the talk about going off grid had me thinking about it. You have to plan for the worst days not the best days.
