Burlington Electric Department LG — EV fast-charging electricity cost

Burlington Electric LG is the filed rate schedule ForgeAsset models for DC fast-charging sites in Burlington Electric Department territory in Vermont. Energy prices at 12.6¢/kWh flat; the demand side bills $30.40/kW of monthly peak. For one reference Supercharger site held constant across the whole library, that works out to 77.9¢/kWh per dispensed kWh — rank 80 of 86 filed tariffs (1 = least expensive).

Modeled rates

Burlington Electric Department's large general service rate for sites inside Burlington city limits, where the municipal utility carves a hole in Green Mountain Power's territory. Flat energy against an unconditional per-kilowatt demand charge on the monthly fifteen-minute maximum — no time-of-use window, no seasons, and a summer-anchored ratchet that stays inert at charging-site load shapes. Uniquely in Vermont, the filed rate card prints the statewide energy efficiency charge, so these figures include it at the large-customer class, along with the 3.5% city franchise fee and the 7% combined sales tax. A 2.99% rate change filed with the Public Utility Commission takes effect October 1, 2026.

The filed rate book for this territory records no EV-specific commercial rate, so the modeled cost is the standard schedule. Demand follows the model's conservative convention — 150 kW per stall billed every month, the worst-case coincident peak — so a site whose metered peak runs below that would see a lower demand line. Burlington Electric's EV rate is limited to utility-owned charging.

What the reference site pays here

Reference site: 8 Tesla V4 stalls at 235 kWh/stall/day (57,183 kWh dispensed per month), a 150kW per-stall demand assumption, the model's default time-of-use mix, and a 12% loss gross-up — identical to the full utility ranking, where this tariff sits at position 80 of 86.

The rest of the Vermont picture

The tariff is one layer. State taxes, incentives, clean-fuels programs, and the charging market shape the remainder — Tesla Supercharger ROI in Vermont covers them, and the US Supercharger Economics Map shows every US Supercharger over utility territories colored by this same effective-cost derivation.
