Here in the bay area, my at home charging costs are very close to a supercharger. something like 35c vs 40c.

It's actually cheaper at supercharger, $.26 after midnight, but ~$.50 during off peak at home after all extra fees in SJ, even after selecting EV charging plan.
$.50/kWh? That's crazy. It's $0.22 in Palo Alto ($0.19 for the first 450 kWh/month). I didn't realize it was such a good deal compared to PG&E.
It was cheaper at home for a long time. But 1+ years ago, they kept jacking up the price for no apparent reason.
San Jose resident here, you shouldn't be paying that much. If you have a TOU plan it's something like 35ยข/kWh off-peak and 50 or so during peak times. They do keep raising the prices for no reason but not that much (yet).
Do you have Silicon Valley Power in PA? I had it in Santa Clara a decade and a half ago, I swear it was like 8 cents at the time.

10 years ago, PG&E was 18 cents here. Now, 38+.
