They are always being increased with no end in sight. California is still extending power plant permits that are overdue to be shut down. About four on the coast and the last working nuclear plant are all slated to be shut down, regardless of the impact on available electricity. No new plants will ever be built here. Solar and wind have dubious futures and are far short of replacing the soon to be shut down plants.
The cheap money savings cost of EVs is now. It will only get costlier as time goes on. The tiers, rates, etc., are all in place and all subject to change. To me the biggest pit-fall in EVs will be the cost to charge them especially over the next few years ahead. Environmentalists want the old plants shut down now regardless of the impact to consumers. They will have their way soon enough. Rates for all electric use, if it's even available, will go sky high.
If you care to see what's going on with SoCalEdison and their billing, rates, etc., here's a link to their web-site.
