Yes, indeed. I saw that EV rate of 9c a KWh.It's not as bad if you sign up for one of their "EV" Time of Use programs. I've chosen to pay the "Basic service fee" of $16 to get the lower rates as I will primarily be charging at home and avoiding public stations.
SDG&E EV Plans
I have yet to see my first bill yet though, so we shall see.
Here, you can see my normal power usage at home ... the spikes are the car charging after midnight using the included 32A Ford mobile charger hooked up to a 50A circuit in my garage. I have a ChargePoint station on back order. Once that arrives, I'll configure it for 40A and let it do it's thing.
Did you have to install a separate meter for this rate? PG&E wanted $2500 for a separate meter to get the EV rate. That was many years ago. So I just kept my TOU plan and charge at night mostly.
