Field notes
The homepage offers six calculator paths: EV charging, rate-plan comparison, appliance costs, cheapest-use timing, heat-pump-versus-gas costs, and solar payback. Visitors can select named utilities—including local providers—or a state-average fallback; examples include PG&E time-of-use rates and a Denver heat-pump comparison. The page says its calculations use utility tariffs and that each number carries a source and date.
