Gosh it's almost like different places in the world have different costs of living.


They do, but cost of electricity is relatively consistent because cost of production is (or at least upper bounded, some places have particularly cheap electricity because of geography). In this case the trick is that 30nzd=20usd and they didn't feel the need to clarify the currency.


It's a New Zealand website on a New Zealand TLD that specifically qualifies, "for a typical Kiwi house", but you thought it wasn't clear that they would be dealing with NZ dollars?


To be honest:

I didn't look at the domain name.

I didn't look at the about us page or anything else to indicate the location.

I assumed kiwi house was a style of architecture and didn't make the link with nz.
