PG&E EV Charging Rates & Electricity Plans

PG&E residential EV charging can use the EV2-A time-of-use plan. The customer-facing PG&E page shows about 23¢/kWh off-peak, 54¢ peak and 43¢ partial-peak in summer. Rates shown by PG&E are rounded on the customer page; bills also include a Base Services Charge for EV2-A.

Whole-bill integration: no utility plan on this page is currently safe for a monthly bill estimate with the modeled inputs. TOU/EV-specific plans stay out of the bill calculator until usage-by-time allocation is available.

Eligibility / billing boundary: EV2-A eligibility applies. The charging examples isolate variable energy cost and do not allocate the Base Services Charge, taxes, climate credits, CCA/DA generation differences or other bill items to a single charging session.

The state average is a benchmark, not a substitute for this tariff. A low or high encoded period is a marginal energy price and should not be interpreted as a complete monthly bill unless the page explicitly says whole-bill modeling is supported.
