    Plus Germany started to seriously get into EVs in the 2020s.

    that isn’t really a plus in the context of a question: “how is it possible that the electricity consumption does not grow significantly?”

      It’s a plus for the question of whether Germany’s electricity use has become more efficient. Electrification has been a major trend for decades, yet German energy production (which in Germany generally mirrors domestic demand) has been falling since 2016. If it was just because of manufacturing moving abroad, it should have been falling all the way from 1990.
