Because the electricity distribution system in India or Mexico might be better than that of Japan's.

Japan has the world's most retarded electricity system. Here's why:

> Japan has both 50 Hz and 60 Hz regions, some electronics are not compatible within the same country.
> Japan's household electricity runs on 100V -- not 120V or 110V, they run their electricity on exactly 100V, the lowest among any country in the earth.
> In the US, the standard household voltage is 120V, but electric stoves, EV chargers, electric cloth dryers, etc., can run on 240V in single-family homes or 208V in apartments. This was taking the advantage of the phases of AC power. In Japan, you can't do that in your apartment.
> Typical Japanese apartments are only serviced by a few dozens of amps. The breaker will trip if you run a couple of electricity-hungry appliances together -- much more easily than in the west.
> By contrast, a single-family home in the US typically has 200A@240V capacity (240V means more than double the actual wattage). You have to pay extra to your electricity company to have extra amperage on your electricity meter.
> Japan hangs all their wires on poles, even in densely-populated areas, instead of burying them under the road. In the states, electricity poles are common, but they typically only serve single-family homes, not a bunch of apartments. So recovering from typhoons can take quite a while, and city-wide blackouts due to typhoons aren't that rare, and it will take days to weeks to have the workers fix all the wires.
> Since Japanese electricity system is so shit (100V means more amps, and the capacity for amperage is low, too), doubling with high energy prices in general, people have to use kotatsu. Kotatsus are not that comfortable as you see on anime. They are only comfortable because nowhere in your home is heated but the kotatsu. And it won't consume much electricity to heat up that bit of area.
> Since electricity is expensive and the distribution system is garbage, people have to use gas stoves and gas water heaters -- which is not a good thing because they aren't that easy to turn renewable like electricity. For instance, in commiefornia, they started to ban gas stoves in new homes because a higher percentage of electricity there is renewable, while gas will have to stuck with gas forever. Gas is cheaper but still expensive, and people rarely use gas to heat their homes.
>> The renewable problem is only made worse since Japan doesn't want nuclear energy.

Is Japan actually a 3rd-world hellscape?

Also most US homes seem to sit at 50A while recent homes are at 100A and only very new construction has 200A plus raised pillars (?) so your connection to the municipal grid doesn't sag to five feet and garrot you while walking in your yard.

Yeah, but isn't that because of higher levels of seismic activity in Japan? Because the alternative to "recovering from typhoons" in the case of "recovering from earthquakes" is quite a lot more laborious and expensive.

I'm sorry, I'm not aware of any Russian cinema about Japanese electric poles.

Electric heating is a fucking terrible waste anyway. What they should really do is to build district heating.
Another major problem is that the Japanese building code is a joke when it comes to insulation. A lot of walls are paper thin, which results not only in cold interiors, but also in plenty of noise penetration, both from the outside and from neighbouring apartments.

The McMansion I lived in suffer from the same issues and doesn't England still use boilers for heat? Howaitto Piggus think they're hot shit when it comes to infrastructure.

On the contrary, it actually saves energy consumption just heating a part of the room instead of the entire house via central.

Having no heating at all also saves energy.

This is factually incorrect. You can gang together multiple phases in Japan and 200V outlets are common for air conditioning and in kitchens for IH cooktops.
> Typical Japanese apartments are only serviced by a few dozens of amps.
I have 40A in my apart. It's okay. 30A is pushing it.
> Japan hangs all their wires on poles, even in densely-populated areas, instead of burying them under the road. In the states, electricity poles are common, but they typically only serve single-family homes, not a bunch of apartments. So recovering from typhoons can take quite a while, and city-wide blackouts due to typhoons aren't that rare, and it will take days to weeks to have the workers fix all the wires.
But recovering from earthquakes is much faster. Also, the Japanese really go to town on repairing lines after typhoons.

Also, all air conditioners in Japan are the inverter type, and they're the most efficient method of heating. My power bill rarely crosses 10k yen a month in winter and I solely use the air con.
A lot of people do still use kerosene heaters, though. They're probably better in the long run, but they do smell a bit still.
