Where are you getting that figure? $0.73/kWh is insane. Rates in Hawaii (known for expensive electricity) are like 1/3 of that.

I can't find anything close to that on this rate sheet (current as of June 1, 2023: https://www.pge.com/pge_global/common/pdfs/customer-service/...

I get the number from my October'23 PG&E bill in front of me.

I'm on the EV2A plan. The numbers on that website link are not what they charge on the actual bill. I don't know why they are allowed to publish fake numbers.

Here are the exact numbers from my October bill:

Peak rate: 58.4 delivery + 14.8 generation = 73.2 c/kWh

Part peak: 47.4 delivery + 8.3 generation = 55.7 c/kWh

Off-peak: 27.2 delivery + 7.1 generation = 34.4 c/kWh
