yes, but not the same amount of electricity. without a tank there's no heat storage to take energy from.

And this energy, it came from... you rubbing your hands together? The tank will take more as the hot water sitting there is constantly cooling. It will take a system that can supply more instantaneous current, sure, like my humble cardboard shack doesn't have the electrical to really work well with a tankless heater.
