Billing period was 62 days and the way it works with my area is I get BASIC LIFELINE rate @.12 cents and NON LIFELINE @.1974 cents. Everyday I get 10KW @.12 cents
BASIC LIFELINE 620 KWH $74.40 (62 day)
NON LIFELINE 4062 KWH $801.84
with all other fees its almost 1000 dollars this last two months. My highest bill was about $400 since I've lived here.
Can anyone tell me how many KW it takes to charge from 20 to 90%?? I was under the impression that charging from 20 to 90 puts about 50kWh. I charge my car every two days.

The correct units for energy are kWh, not "KW". See
Extended Warranty opinions ... - My Nissan Leaf Forum. You got it right for some of your post.
You're on
California Lifeline Program yet you bought an S?
12 (for tier 1) and 19.7 cents (for tier 2) per kWh is quite cheap for California. I'm on Pacific Gouge & Extort E-6. See page 2 of
https://www.pge.com/tariffs/assets/pdf/tariffbook/ELEC_SCHEDS_E-6.pdf. Depending on time of day and whether it's within baseline or beyond it, it ranges from 19.7 to 47.4 cents per kWh. Luckily, I get free charging from work (+ sometimes use free public charging) and almost never charge at home.
In my most recent bill, I used ~248 kWh in a 31 day billing period. I was within baseline. My tier 1 allowance was 306.9 kWh. Electricity beyond that costs more $.
The electric portion of my bill came out to $57.73. This includes taxes and fees.
In checking my PG&E history, in the past year, the most kWh I've used in a month was 308. It was also my most expensive at $59.91.
If you want a lower bill, you're going to have to look to other plans (e.g. TOU), drive more efficiently and cut your other energy usage that's being metered at home. You may want to look to see if there's any free charging via
PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You. You'd want to filter by J1772 + Tesla plugs. You could also look for NEMA 14-50 plugs but you won't find many and you'd need to use your mobile connector + NEMA 14-50 adapter. I don't think you want to spend $450 on a
CHAdeMO Adapter unless there are free CHAdeMO stations near you that you can suck down a ton of juice from.
Does your S have free included Supercharging?
BTW, for reference,
https://www.pge.com/tariffs/assets/pdf/tariffbook/ELEC_SCHEDS_E-1.pdf page 1 is how expensive E-1, the default non-TOU non-lifeline plan is. Baseline in my area is only about 300ish kWh for 30 day period, depending on time of year and with nat gas heating. With your crazy usage, if you were on E-1, quite a bit of your usage would cost 50.6 cents per kWh.
Do you know how many kiloWatt you used for charging? Compare with your mileage. You need about 300 W per mile.
(Add 10% for charging losses)
Do you mean kilowatt hours (kWh)? On the latter, you mean 300 watt-hours (Wh) per mile?
