My current electricity plan is $0.095/ kWh, but after adding the transmission charges and such, its $0.152 / kWh

It seems high to me, especially for being in Michigan. I wanted to know what you are paying. I'm sure our California members wont have any sympathy for me..
 
CMP area (Southern Maine, majority of Maine population):
Delivery portion details: Maine: CMP Delivery Rate Changes 7/1/2017 since July 2018
Standard offer for the supply/energy for 2018 is: $0.0792063
Tax is 5.5% (standard sales tax rate) on any use during a billing cycle over 750kWh.

So $/kWh:
Marginal net flat: $0.155655017
Marginal net A-TOU (peak/shoulder, off-peak): $0.196028812, $0.137340217
Marginal net A-TOU-OPTS (peak, shoulder/off-peak): $0.279138547, $0.117033577

I'm ~85% shoulder/off-peak so A-TOU-OPTS works for me.
 
Winter (November-April billing cycles)
all kWh $0.09417


Summer (May-October billing cycles)
1-400 kWh $0.09687
401-800 kWh $0.13817
801-3000 kWh $0.16167
3001 kWh and up $0.17257


But with solar overproduction, our monthly bill is the minimum $10-$11.
 
I think my fees have changed a little since I put together this spreadsheet (this was earlier in the year), but here is the gist of what I pay on Portland General Electric in Oregon. A little over 10c per kWh not including the basic meter fee.

I actually don't know if there are different tiers of costs - I have never gone over them (though I may now with my car).

Also, I have 1:1 net metering that rolls month to month (resets to zero once per year if you don't use it all up - but I always use it up)

Burbank Water and Power, (California), is .11 cents per kwh for first 300, then .16 after that. There is a TOU plan, .08 cents kwh from midnight to 7 am but .26 cents from 4 to 7 pm during the summer and .16 all other hours. Have the wife and kids unable to keep the AC high from 4 to 7 so I didn't go for the TOU plan.

I think you're using Verizon math.

It's 11 cents for the first 300 kWh, not .11 cents.
 
Here’s SDGE in San Diego on my current plan (not an EV plan). This is average with all the other stuff added, but still amazingly high!

Those rates seem really high. I'm surprised they are that much higher than up here in the Bay Area with PG&E.

My Tier 1 rates which only go up to about 350kwh usage are .179 and Tier 2 which is up the 200% of Tier 1 (I think might be 400%) is only .28kwh.
 
either .13 or .14 from 10pm to 8am super off peak tou charges, .14 is 8 months a year on winter rate and .13 is for summer rates, not sure what the transmission charges and all other charges bring it up to? never looked a lot at that, I think our average kWh costs all in are around .18 to .20 on the average bill because we use so much on super off peak ,overall with 3 levels on tou we do save a lot of money as we average 2000 to 2500 kWh month and we have a very low percentage of on peak charges (like less than 10%) so compared to our old tiered plans where 80% of our energy seemed to be on tier 5 or .37 per kWh, the SCE TOU-B plan works great, for high energy users in SoCal (on SCE) here is the plan

I’m lucky enough to have a “municipal non profit electric utility”, my rate is an unbelievable $.0368 per KWH. To charge my Model 3 310 mile battery is roughly $3.30. My TESLA keeps looking better and better.
