What does MidAmerican Energy charge for energy on Rate LS?

The modeled rates are 6.3¢/kWh flat. At the model's default time-of-use mix (30% peak, 45% off-peak, 25% super-off-peak) that blends to 6.3¢/kWh.

Does Rate LS carry a demand charge?

Yes: $6.74/kW of monthly peak. For a reference 8-stall site at 150 kW per stall that comes to about $8,086 per month.

What does electricity cost per kWh dispensed on this tariff?

For the reference site — 8 Tesla V4 stalls dispensing 235 kWh per stall per day, with a 12% loss gross-up — the all-in utility cost works out to 21.2¢/kWh per dispensed kWh, rank 15 of 86 tariffs in the library (1 = least expensive).

MidAmerican's large-service rate across most Iowa metros: cheap flat energy — the tariff's first pricing block covers a charging site's whole monthly volume — against a light demand charge on the monthly peak with no ratchet and no time window. Figures fold the fuel, efficiency, and transmission riders, a filed annual credit, and Des Moines' combined 13.95% sales-and-franchise stack; Iowa City and Coralville run lower. Iowa's 2.6¢/kWh electric-fuel excise is carried separately in the state tax profile.
