Not seeing the savings - what am I doing wrong? (Reddit)

Reddit:

So I’ve had my EV (2025 Equinox) for approximately 6-7 weeks now. Received my first electric bill with a full month. My bill is $350 more this year than the bill I received last year for the same month. It’s August in the south so it’s hot. Same temps this years from last year. Same house. Everything is comparable except the car being plugged in every night. I charge from 20% to 85% every night. I wait until 9:00 to start charging. But by my calculations, I’m not saving anything close to what I thought. And about the same as I would be spending on gas with ICE vehicle. I drive a lot every day and one of the main reasons I went with EV. Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: after all fees and taxes, I am paying just over 0.17/kw. Last year, I was receiving some type of credit and I did not know that. Without that credit, my rate has increased from 0.15/kw to 0.17/kw. I’m calling electric company tomorrow to inquire about any kind of breaks they can give me. I appreciate the help and all kinds of input.
