Minimum monthly bill: No minimum is printed. The base services charge applies each day.
A bill that crosses a season or rate change: the calculator splits it by the number of days in each month, if you type the meter read dates. Schedule EV2, Special Condition 2: when the bill includes use in both the summer and winter seasons, PG&E prorates the charges by the number of days in each season.
Example bills for 1,000 kWh
These examples use 1,000 kWh and 30 days. Income program: No income program. Smart meter opt-out: No (normal smart meter). PCIA vintage (CCA customers only): Not a CCA customer. Each column uses the rates of the billing month in its heading. In seasons with time periods, the examples use this split: 20% peak and 15% partial-peak, and the rest off-peak. This split is only an example. Use the values from your bill. The examples do not include taxes.
| Line | Summer (September) | Winter (November) |
|---|---|---|
| Base services charge | $23.80 | $23.80 |
| Delivery energy charge | $202.71 | $191.90 |
| Generation | $125.79 | $106.18 |
| Bundled power charge indifference adjustment | −$10.11 | −$10.11 |
| Total before tax | $342.19 | $311.77 |
How the calculator gets the total
- It finds the season from the billing month. Summer rates apply in June to September. Winter rates apply in October to May.
- It uses the kWh for each time period from your bill. The total kWh is the sum of the periods.
- It multiplies the base services charge by the number of days in the billing period.
- It multiplies the kWh in each time period by the delivery energy charge rate for that period.
- It multiplies the kWh in each time period by the Generation rate for that period.
- It multiplies the kWh by the rate of the bundled power charge indifference adjustment.
- It multiplies the kWh by the rate of the wildfire hardening charge exemption (FERA).
- If you select it, it applies the FERA discount (18%) as a percentage of the delivery energy charge, the bundled power charge indifference adjustment, the Generation and the wildfire hardening charge exemption (FERA).
- It multiplies the kWh by the rate of the wildfire fund charge exemption (CARE).
- It multiplies the kWh by the rate of the wildfire hardening charge exemption (CARE).
- It multiplies the kWh by the rate of the CARE surcharge exemption.
- If you select it, it applies the CARE discount (35%) as a percentage of the delivery energy charge, the bundled power charge indifference adjustment, the Generation, the wildfire fund charge exemption (CARE), the wildfire hardening charge exemption (CARE) and the CARE surcharge exemption.
- It adds the smart meter opt-out monthly charge. This is a fixed amount for each month.
- It multiplies the kWh by the rate of the power charge indifference adjustment (vintaged).
- It multiplies the kWh by the rate of the franchise fee surcharge.
- If you select a supplier, the calculator multiplies the kWh by the supplier price that you type. This line replaces the Generation and the bundled power charge indifference adjustment. The other lines do not change.
The calculator rounds each line to the cent. Each percentage uses the rounded lines.
Items that the calculator does not include
- Medical Baseline discounts. Medical Baseline sales do not pay the Wildfire Fund Charge.
- The California Climate Credit (the tariff shows a credit of $36.18 in the August and September bill cycles).
- Taxes and surcharges that PG&E collects for others, for example the state electrical energy surcharge and city utility users taxes.
- The one-time smart meter opt-out amount (see the opt-out option).
- CARE or FERA together with a CCA, and Direct Access.
- Standby reservation charges (Schedule S) for homes that get part of their power from a non-utility source.
- The usage limit: PG&E removes a customer from EV2 if the use in the last 12 months is more than 800% of the annual baseline allowance. The calculator does not check this limit.
- Separate EV submeters. The calculator uses one meter for the whole house.

Values read from the text of PG&E Electric Schedule EV2 in the PG&E tariff book (bills show EV2A). The total rates on Sheet 2 (June 1, 2026) equal the sum of the unbundled component rates on Sheet 3 (for example summer peak: 53.809 cents). The six total rates agree with the EV2 rows of PG&E's residential rate table (Electric Vehicle and Technology tab, March 1, 2026 to present). EV2 has no baseline credit. The time periods come from Sheet 4. PG&E does not publish a typical bill with a line breakdown, so the test bills are hand calculations. PG&E electric rates page (Residential Inclu TOU rate table).
Questions about PG&E EV2-A bills
Who can use EV2-A?
EV2-A is open to PG&E residential customers with a plug-in electric vehicle, a battery storage system or an electric heat pump. The electric vehicle must be a registered battery electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle that you charge at home. Battery storage customers without an electric vehicle are in a pilot with a limit of 30,000 customers. The heat pump must be the main source of water heat or of space heat or cooling.
When are the peak and partial-peak periods on EV2-A?
The peak period is 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. every day, also on weekends and holidays. The partial-peak periods are 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. to 12 midnight. All other hours (12 midnight to 3 p.m.) are off-peak.
Is there a usage limit on EV2-A?
Yes. Your use in the last 12 months must not be more than 800% of your annual baseline allowance. If it is more, PG&E moves you to E-TOU-D for 12 months.
Does EV2-A have a baseline credit?
No. EV2-A has no baseline credit. Each kWh in a period has the same rate. Your baseline territory and heat code do not change the bill on this plan.
Does the EV2-A calculator include taxes?
Not by itself. Your bill can add the state electrical energy surcharge and a city utility users tax. To add it, type the tax rate from your bill in the tax field.
Why is my PG&E EV2-A bill so high?
The most common reason is more kWh: heating and air conditioning use much electricity. The season: on Schedule EV2-A, 1,000 kWh costs $342.19 in September and $311.77 in November. The time of use: kWh in the peak hours cost more than kWh at other hours. More days in the billing period also add kWh and daily charges. To see which reason applies to your bill, use the Why is my bill so high tool on this site: type your bill and an earlier bill, and it shows each reason in dollars.
