I just looked at my monthly net neerge statement and it has the following for my rate schedule:
E 1XB/NEMS. I don't see anyting about what schedule that relatest to. Looking at my charge for last month, if I take the expense and devide it by the amount used I get 0.1206 per kWH.
I think that means you are on the standard residential rate schedule E1. The important part is to look at what tier your highest electricity usage is in each month. For example, if you use a lot of air consitioning in the summer, you might be in tier 3, 4, or 5, which costs more per incremental (added) kWh than tier 1 or 2. Your EV charging will use incremental kWh - it will be on top of your existing usage.
PG&E "requires" you to change to a time-of-use rate (TOU rates E9A or E9B) if you are charging an EV. If you add solar PV, PG&E would also let you use TOU rate E6 if you want.
