In a video, he gave all four receipts to his co-host to look at and share the details with their viewers.
The first GH¢1,000 was bought on December 17, 2025, with another purchase on December 26, 2025, after the first prepaid amount was finished.
After seven days, which was on January 2, 2026, ZionFelix bought another GH¢1,000 worth of electricity, and the same amount again on January 11, 2026.
The blogger wondered why he had spent so much on electricity in less than a month, lamenting the cost of household power.

"Zion Felix de3 he go go through am more than anybody. The YouTube money has reduced because of exchange rates and electricity tariffs have increased, so I really understand the rant."
@youngbaron21 said:
"Zion Felix needs to understand that the electricity used in his office is under the commercial category, not domestic. Commercial customers have different rates from domestic customers."

"There’s no consistency in the number of days. This clearly shows there’s a problem that needs to be investigated, or you have an agenda. When there was an increment, we just regulated our fast freezing and sometimes off the deep freezer during the day. It further extended the days for us."

"I purchased 100gh worth of prepaid electricity just last Sunday. Tuesday dawn, it got finished, I loaded 50gh that same dawn, by evening time it got finished again. That very Tuesday evening, I bought 100gh and called my electrician to complain. Asked me to put off most of the things I use till when he comes to check. The following morning, I checked the meter, and the remaining balance was 80gh by afternoon when he came to check it was 55gh. After checks, he realised “the earth” wire was faulty. That earth wire was the one draining me. Zion should check his, too, maybe."
