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.
SECOs juice mostly from natural gas power plants so the PCA has been 3 cents since October last year due to how cheap natty gas has been.
When I figure how much it cost to power a device I do not factor in the $1.15 per day. That is a fixed cost for being hooked to the grid. If I use zero kWh last month then the bill is $35. This month i powered one appliance and used one kWh. My bill is $35.08. It only cost me 8 cents to power that appliance.
