Tacoma Power Schedule G — EV fast-charging electricity cost
Tacoma Power Schedule G is the filed rate schedule ForgeAsset models for DC fast-charging sites in Tacoma Power territory in Washington. Energy prices at 5.8¢/kWh flat; the demand side bills $11.39/kW of monthly peak. For one reference Supercharger site held constant across the whole library, that works out to 30.4¢/kWh per dispensed kWh — rank 39 of 86 filed tariffs (1 = least expensive).
Modeled rates
| Peak energy | 5.8¢/kWh |
| Off-peak energy | 5.8¢/kWh |

Tacoma Power's municipal general-service rate: among the cheapest energy in the covered set against a light demand charge on the monthly peak, with no rider stack — the published rates embed the utility tax. The tariff's ratchet resolves to the current month for a site with a steady billed peak. Washington's B&O tax on charging revenue and its sales tax on installation labor are carried in the state tax profile. University Place addresses take a higher rate variant not modeled here.

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 39 of 86.
The rest of the Washington picture
The tariff is one layer. State taxes, incentives, clean-fuels programs, and the charging market shape the remainder — Tesla Supercharger ROI in Washington covers them, and the US Supercharger Economics Map shows every US Supercharger over utility territories colored by this same effective-cost derivation.
