Heatpumps don’t replace electric coils, they replace oil and gas heaters. Likewise electric cars and trains.
No doubt everything got more efficient. But stagnating or declining energy use, while cheap regenerative energy generation increased slowly but steadily, means there’s missed potential.
Off the top of my head I cannot come up with any energy hungry industry which increased production in Germany in recent years, while I could name a couple which moved abroad.
