The answer is simple: they're morons. They probably charged off a standard meter and got hit for the highest peak-hours tier. Southern California Edison charges between 4 and 11 cents per kWh for "super off-peak" EV charging (midnight-6am) when sharing the household meter. If you have a separate meter put in, you get 14 cents peak and 6 cents off-peak (off-peak being 9pm to noon the following day.)
