SVP National Councilor Andreas Glarner attempts to be an energy political leader: On Twitter he determined on Sunday that a person Tesla over 100 kilometers “5 times more energy than the Christmas lights ‘Lucy’ on the Bahnhofstrasse throughout the entire 6 weeks!” usages.
No more indications: just one @Tesla takes in 5 times more energy per 100 km than the “Lucy” Christmas lights on the Bahnhofstrasse for the entire 6 weeks!

Glarner’s contrast is obviously unreasonable, as lots of Twitter users right away discovered.
Lucy’s Christmas lights on Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse, one kilometer long, utilize around1260kilowatt hours (kWh) per season, or over 6 weeks. For contrast: Assuming Tesla takes in around185 kWh per 100 km( depending upon the design and driving profile ), an electrical cars and truck can cover a range of around 7000 km.
In other words:
Lucy requires 3 kW. Tesla S185 kWh. 6 hours Lucy equates to100 kilometers.
Or at 1 lucy light=33 km vehicle.
Please google it.

Glarner describes the site of the Zürcher Bahnhofstrasse Association for his estimation. It states about Lucy:”3000 watts typical power usage in regular operation per hour”.
Problem: The political leader has it obviouslyhe did not comprehend the distinction in between power( watt) and energy (kilowatt hour). A kilowatt hour is a system of energy. It depends upon the power( Watt) and time. The Twitter neighborhood leapt in and clarified right away:
Briefly discussed, specifically for you, @andreas_glarner:
3,000 watts is an indicator of the power that the light requires all the time *. Simply increasing by the period of this light leads to a quantity of energy.
(el.) energy =( el.) power × time

Glarner has yet to erase his tweet in spite of the incorrect accusations.
By the method:1260 kWh of electrical energy for42 days of Christmas lights on the Bahnhofstrasse or7000 km with an electrical cars and truck.is swallowed up in lights in the Letzigrund arena throughout a football match A minimum of with the declaration that closing down Lucy would be excellent politics, Glarner is not totally incorrect.
What? kilowatt hours?
Example:An expert hair clothes dryer has an output of2000 watts– or more than 2 kilowatts. If we let it run for half an hour, that needs one kilowatt hour (2 0.5 = 1) of energy.
If Andreas Glarner had actually studied the basics of electrical power, this would not have actually taken place

Adolf Ogi wished to conserve electrical power as early as 1989– SRF buffooned him
