People say you are paying for the convenience of fast charging.
But that isn't all the picture. (in california)
PG&E has honed its regulatory capture skills and has some of the highest electricity costs anywhere.
The average cost of electricity is 33c/kwh for california customers, and as you use more it can easily reach 50c/kwh. There are some areas where PG&E is not the electric company, and they top out at 14c/kwh for electricity.
The ONLY good part I can contrive from this situation is that residential solar is "practical" and the demand is driving development of democratized power generation.
- seafoam 2y agoIs this a PG&E thing or a California thing ? Put differently, where in California can one top out at 14c/kwh for electricity ?
- m463 2y ago> 14c/kwh santa clara, palo alto, etc EDIT: sorry 17.5 c/kwh? pg&e average is also higher: https://www.siliconvalleypower.com/residents/rates-and-fees https://www.siliconvalleypower.com/residents/rates-and-fees
