Or having one fewer cable box plugged in. Or a family of 4 each reducing their shower length by 1 minute each.

You're suggesting that powering a car for a year is about 8x what you'd save by switching a couple bulbs to LED?
Come on.
I honestly don't know how much electricity it takes to power an EV for a year, and have been meaning to look into it, but I am having trouble buying this post.
(you compared the 12% bleed to the bulb, implying that the total power for the car is 8x that)
