      I’ve never had AC at home, and that’s also the case for most people I know. I live in the south of France.

          Meh, if your house is built correctly, it is not needed. And you also get used to it.

          I just use a fan during the night, which does the job without having to use so much electricity.

      In southern parts of Europe maybe. But in Germany for example they are really rare.

      Depends on the country. A few years ago, there was a heat wave that provoked over 10 deaths in France, while Spain barely registered any despite suffering even harsher temperatures. This is because most homes in Spain have AC, but French ones usually don’t. I would expect this to change in the following decade.

      Only in public buildings. We never needed AC with out relatively mild temperature, good insulation and it was seen as a waste of electricity.
