Xcel Energy (North Dakota) General Service — EV fast-charging electricity cost

Xcel Energy ND General Service is the filed rate schedule ForgeAsset models for DC fast-charging sites in Xcel Energy territory in North Dakota. Energy prices at 23.3¢/kWh flat; the demand side bills none (energy-only). For one reference Supercharger site held constant across the whole library, that works out to 26.1¢/kWh per dispensed kWh — rank 25 of 86 filed tariffs (1 = least expensive).

Modeled rates

Xcel's North Dakota general-service schedule caps billing demand at monthly energy divided by 100 hours — at fast-charging utilization the cap always binds, so the entire demand charge converts exactly into the energy rate and the separate demand line is zero. The bundled rate folds the fuel and transmission riders plus Fargo's 4% city fee; North Dakota exempts electricity from sales tax. Where utilization ever exceeded the cap's envelope the folded rate overstates the bill rather than understating it. The fuel factor resets monthly.

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 25 of 86.

The rest of the North Dakota picture

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