I have solar, but I'm also on TOU, and paid TOU "discounted EV rates" before I got the solar. We're about 0.54 peak and 0.30 off peak. There are a variety of different TOU and EV plans, so it might vary a little for each customer, but consumers get big-fucked by the electric utility no matter what. I've been a utility customer for a long time, and I don't think I've ever seen rates as low as 2.8c per KWh.

Fun fact... my electric utility is a convicted felon; 84 counts of manslaughter.
