    PG&E is very blatantly trying to crush EV adoption in California. They’re even advertising their EV plan by comparing their pricing to buying gas at the pump.

    $0.65/kWh during peak is probably the highest power cost in the whole US, even including Hawaii.

      That rate is insane. I live in the PNW in a high cost of living area and drive an EV. I don’t even see charging stations, which during peak times often charge five times or higher the market rates for energy up here, charging that much.
