What in the world. In December, southern Norway had similar electricity prices for two hours, and caused enough of an uproar that the government is still trying to live it down.

They’re pricing it at what the market will bear for charging. They’re recouping costs of building and running the charging station. Property and operational costs in CA are very high.
It fluctuates a bit though not much, and varies from network to network, but currently[1] the average is around $0.5/kWh if you exclude Tesla.
Now, at home I pay about $0.1-0.2/kWh these days and less during summer.
Hence not a lot of energy usage during summer compared with winter, as most heat their homes using electricity.
So prices are much higher than for normal AC charging. Most of the charging you do should be AC charging at your home or work.
