People say you are paying for the convenience of fast charging.

But that isn't all the picture. (in california)

PG&E has honed its regulatory capture skills and has some of the highest electricity costs anywhere.

The average cost of electricity is 33c/kwh for california customers, and as you use more it can easily reach 50c/kwh. There are some areas where PG&E is not the electric company, and they top out at 14c/kwh for electricity.

The ONLY good part I can contrive from this situation is that residential solar is "practical" and the demand is driving development of democratized power generation.
