I use gas for stovetop cooking, heat, and water heating (tankless). The demand charge for running an induction stove at dinner would be around $36. The an electric tankless water heater would be around $72. An electric furnace would cost $180. If those run at the same time (which may or may not be hard to control) the demand charge stacks.
My natural gas bill for a month is around $40 with no time of use restrictions. Effectively cheaper than turning any one of those things on during peak demand hours.
Per energy unit, all of those may be more efficient. Per dollar, they are not.
