The Victoria BC Canada Supercharger cost $C0.48 per minute at charge rates over 60 kW and $C 0.24 below 60 kW.
At a charging rate of 60 kW, the energy into the battery is 60 kWh for one hour of charging or 1 kWh per minute of charging.
The cost of residential power in BC is $C 0.14 cents per kWh (Step 2).
Residential Rates
Thus the cost of power at this Supercharger is almost double the residential rate when charging at just below 60 kW
$C 0.24 compared to $C 0.14
and more than triple the residential rate when charging just above 60 kW.
$C 0.48 compared to $C 0.14
In my experience, the maximum charge rate of this Supercharger is 67 kW.
I tried to turn down the maximum charge rate to just below 60 kW, but it appears the Supercharger over-rides the maximum current limit setting.
So I am stuck paying triple the residential rate for Supercharging in Victoria BC.
I understand that per kWh billing will be coming to BC at some point but in the meantime,
how do I reduce the charge rate to just below 60 kW?
