Portland General Electric Schedule 38 — EV fast-charging electricity cost

Portland General Schedule 38 is the filed rate schedule ForgeAsset models for DC fast-charging sites in Portland General Electric territory in Oregon. Energy prices at 20.3¢/kWh–23.3¢/kWh by time of day; the demand side bills none (energy-only). For one reference Supercharger site held constant across the whole library, that works out to 24.3¢/kWh per dispensed kWh — rank 22 of 86 filed tariffs (1 = least expensive).

Modeled rates

PGE's separately-metered EV time-of-day schedule: time-differentiated energy with no demand charge. The rates fold PGE's distribution, transmission, supply, and rider charges across three daily periods; Oregon has no sales tax. Eligibility for a standalone charging site is set by the schedule's own applicability terms, which qualify a separately-metered EV load on its own demand.

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 22 of 86.

The rest of the Oregon picture

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