Sorry if I maybe using incorrect words, English is not my first language. I’m in France and there’s a big electric water boiler which provides all the hot water in our apartment. I have 2 questions regarding the energy consumption:
1. I suppose it consumes electricity initially to heat the water inside, but does it keep consuming to keep them warm?
2. Between 10pm – 6am, the electricity cost is lower in our plan. Does that mean it costs us less if we use the hot water(shower/dishes) between these times?
Cheers!

Unless you have a magic box that keeps water hot forever, yes, it needs to keep using energy to keep it hot.
>Between 10pm – 6am, the electricity cost is lower in our plan. Does that mean it costs us less if we use the hot water(shower/dishes) between these times?
Yes, if you use water during that time, then the water that refills the tank will be cheaper to reheat during that time.
