My average power bill is about £150 a month, making nearly £2k a year. That matches what I spend on transport easily.
Here anything over 20% on energy is the threshold for "fuel poverty".

I'm at 22% for all vehicle expenses and electric. Somehow I don't feel impoverished, though. I spent the last few years building up a fund and just purchased a new high-efficiency heat pump / AC unit. That should reduce my total to 20% (conservative estimate, hopefully even less).
