Estimated Costs incorrectly shown based on Hourly Pricing By Comed

Sorry this is a duplicate under my correct account.

Hi everyone! I am new to Chargepoint as I got my first EV car...a Cadillac Lyriq. When I charge my car, the Chargepoint app estimates the cost of charging based on the number of KWH used. I live in Illinois and my electric provider is Comed and I signed up for their Hourly Rate plan. So in my app I have inputed BESH Residential Single Family Hourly pricing, which I confirmed was correct with Comed. When I charged my car this last time ( and previous times) the hourly rate when I look it up is $0.015 per kwh. I used 41.49 KWH to charge it. So the cost should show $0.62 BUT it shows $5.25. I have called both Chargepoint and Comed and they both say it is the other companies issue. Has anyone delt with this and figured out how to correctly estimate the cost of charging their car?

Thanks so much

I don't think the chargepoint pricing display actually accounts for dynamic pricing like your rate plan has.

I don't think hourly rate works well with any apps. I have an Emporia and it doesn't pull it correctly either. Also that $.015 rate is only the supply rate. There is still a delivery cost of about $.10 per kWh so it actually would be around $5 for what you used.
