Something is else must be going on here. My wife charges her S85 pretty much exclusively at home and drives a little over 2K miles a month, which comes out to about 700kWh of electricity for her car alone. We also charge our Fiat 500e about once a week, but we take advantage of our Time-of-Use and NEM with our solar array.
We average 1.6MWh during the summer months (5-ton central AC) and 1.1MWh during the winter (radiant electric heaters), but our electricity bill is about $200 for the year thanks to TOU and NEM where we generate a credit during the day at a higher rate, then consumer the bulk of our electricity overnight while the rate is at its lowest. The solar array was one of the better things I've done that has changed my lifestyle...I use to be an energy miser who sat in an 84F house during the summer and 64F during the winter (bless my wife for putting up with me).
OP: I'd monitor your electric meter to see if something else is draining your electricity while you're not charging compared to when you are charging.
