It always struck me as strange that the baseline allowance in the summer is lower for all-electric. I'm told by an now retired PG&E guy that this is due to the pool of houses on that rate plan and how much energy they use. I noted you said these are recalculated every 3 years so maybe it'll go up with more homes, presumably bigger ones, all electric.
• Basic Electric
• Summer: 9.8 kWh/Day
• Winter: 9.7 kWh/Day
• All-Electric (Electric Heat)
• Summer: 8.5 kWh/Day
• Winter: 14.6 kWh/Day

I was surprised too. I think it is because many houses don’t have AC and because old style resistive heating is very inefficient
