Current supercharger rates

[yurmix]

Anyone knows what the current rates are in the Bay Area? My account doesn't show rates as I used free miles.
Thank you!

Further out, they vary between $0.30 per kWh in Sacramento to $0.38 in Laytonville and other spots along I5 to Oregon border.

I have Supercharged my car 5 times since I bought it. The rate had been consistent, at $0.24/kwh. Today I was in for a big surprise, at the same location it turned out to be $0.48/kwh. That's double!! Is there a time of day element to the rates? I don't remember if I have charged after 9 PM all these days. Today I started charging at 8:30 PM. Any one willing to share experiences?

I think they changed the hours for when they bill at a higher cost from 7pm to 9pm.

Makes sense, since that's when PG&E charges the highest rates. But they should have lower rates until around 4pm in that case too, unless capacity of the site (number of stalls) is an issue.

24 cents/kwh off peak, 48 cents/kwh peak.

There are a lot of different time of rate charges. And it is as you saw the high rate is double. I usually use SuperChargers early in the morning (6 AM or so) and the rate is almost always low, and I am the only one there.

The rate schedules are not the same for residential and commercial operations like a Supercharger. Commercial rates have three components that determine the rate; amount used, how fast power is used, and the time of day used. Peaks in commercial are often mid-morning to late evening when a lot of commercial operations are open and using power.
