Carbon netural generation creates more LCFS credits. Carbon neutrality can be acheived with clean on-site generation or Renewable Energy Credits (RECs).
Based on your selections, using electricity instead of fossil fuel saves $0 per year. For 0 annual miles, this is a savings of $NaN per mile.
Annual Fuel Costs
Switching to electricity will also allow you to generate Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits, which could generate $0 per year.

To maximize BEV rate inputs, we have set your rate to Business Low Use EV, with a subscription level of 0 blocks. Check out the Business EV Rate Calculator to explore your options.
The total monthly cost would be $0, which includes the cost to recharge to full and the subscription charges.
BEV Cost Components
Every mile driven depletes the battery of electric vehicles. Over the course of a week, the vehicle batteries will follow the schedule below:
Weekly Battery Schedule
The site's electricity load will be the aggregate of all vehicles and their charging patterns, as shown for each weekday:
Site Load Profile (kWh)
Electricity rates are designed to encourage charging at certain hours. PG&E recently created the Business EV Rate with fleets in mind. To minimize costs, configure the vehicles to charge during the cheapest hours.
