This and the low-tech electrical shower-head are the two everyday Brazilian things that never cease to amaze me.

Being poor sucks but at the same time being poor also makes you find alternative solutions to the incredibly expensive solutions first world countries use today. I really wish Brazil can invest heavily into renewables and free itself from oil and electrify even more of everything we do.

Is that for electrically heated water?

I know that in the US on-demand electric water heater uses an enormous amount of electricity, like 100 amps.
