20c/kWh? Not in California... Try 35c/50c peak or worse.

Even if you have solar, and got in before NEM3.0, that's still not an incentive to electrify, when you're just selling the non-peak energy to the grid for the increasing rates that PG&E is charging/planning... (if that income-based minimum monthly bill thing happens, this maybe changes a bit)

Not sure about the current gas/electricity per mile costs as I'm still driving a 15 y/o gas car.

FYI, some legislators (including very left-leaning ones) are moving to repeal this pending change: https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-progressive-california-epipha...
