I doubt it’s the cost of electricity itself, but rather that the average European uses a lot less electricity (mainly due to more energy efficient appliances and no AC use).

The appliances are basically the same–no, American appliances don’t generally run on 120v–but I’ll bet average house size is the biggest thing.

Smaller houses probably help too

American houses are very well insulated for the most part. Triple pane windows are only marginally better than double.

Size is the biggest thing here.
