This paper has some nice maps illustrating why Californians need to do some serious modeling before making electrification choices.

My favorites are:

Figure 2 - fixed monthly charge (showing CA undercharges for fixed infrastructure costs)

Figure 3 - marginal cost per residential KWh (showing CA recoups it in very-high rates)

Figure 9 - marginal profit over social cost (showing CA is super expensive, even post-carbon-tax)
