I feel the kWh charge you have been told by the electricity company is not the whole story, as it does not seem compatible with average electricity costs in your area. Is it backed up by the information on your invoices?Yes, I called them. I have been going over this in my head and can't figure it out
The electricity company seem to have given you the base level rate (GSC charge) of 13.2 Cents per kWh, but from what I see, other charges are normally added to that (for every kWh unit you use, eg: transmission charge ~4 cents, Distribution charge ~5 cents, System improvements charge ~ 1 cent, etc. etc.
See: Electricity - https://portal.ct.gov/OCC/Electricity/Electricity/Electricity
If this is relevant to your situation, you should be paying between 21 and 27 cents per kWh, which is less than I pay here in the UK, and more consistent with the billing for the EV you are receiving. Taking Julie's sums, a full charge would be 81.25 (kWh) x $0.23 = $18.7 for a full charge (or up to $22 at the higher average price below).
I really don't think there is anything wrong with your electricity supply, I just think that the pricing structure has changed so much since Covid that you cannot make comparisons with what costs used to be!
