Yeah, a tankless pulls down power like an EV, and since conversion to heat is 100% efficient (loss in the pipes on the way to your shower notwithstanding) you actually need that power to heat up the water at the speed a tankless sends it through. That's why the gas ones work better, hydrocarbons store a shitload of energy.
