The rate is 13.2 cents per kWh over 1000 kWhs which is hard to avoid in the summer, which is also when the hot bucks discount isn’t being applied. If you want to only deal with the incremental cost per kWh in the months with no PCA then it is effectively 13.5 cents per kWh.
At the charger, typical use is 200 watt-hours per mile and the charger pulls about 10 amps.

That calculation gives a bad number for cost per kWh that will vary by the amount of electricity used. The bill clearly shows what the rate per kWh is.
Hot bucks varies with the economy and not the season. As we went into a period of high inflation the hot bucks disappeared. As inflation lessened the hot bucks subtraction came back.
I believe I had one bill over 1000kWh last year, even with all the AC. Of course, YMMV.
