Versant Power (Bangor Hydro District) M-2 — EV fast-charging electricity cost

Versant Power BHD M-2 is the filed rate schedule ForgeAsset models for DC fast-charging sites in Versant Power territory in Maine. Energy prices at 14.2¢/kWh flat; the demand side bills $37.95/kW of monthly peak. For one reference Supercharger site held constant across the whole library, that works out to 95.6¢/kWh per dispensed kWh — rank 84 of 86 filed tariffs (1 = least expensive).

Modeled rates

Versant Power's Bangor Hydro District medium-service rate for the Bangor, Brewer, and Ellsworth corridor: flat energy where a fixed calendar-year standard-offer strip, filed a year in advance, carries most of the rate — against the heaviest demand charge in the library, an unconditional per-kilowatt distribution and transmission charge with no ratchet and no window. Rate M-2 applies uncapped from 25 kilowatts with no secondary class above it; the state's procurement documents describe the class as generally 25–500 kilowatts, a prose residual disclosed rather than modeled. Figures fold Maine's 5.5% service-provider tax. Delivery resets each July 1 and the 2027 standard-offer strip prints around November 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. Versant's Bangor Hydro M-2 carries the heaviest per-kW demand rate in this library.

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 84 of 86.

The rest of the Maine picture

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

Versant Power (Bangor Hydro District) M-2 — questions

What does Versant Power (Bangor Hydro District) charge for energy on M-2?
