Superconducting and insulating phases are well-established in twisted graphene bilayers, and they have also been reported in other arrangements of graphene layers. We investigate three such situations, (untwisted) bilayer graphene on hBN, two graphene bilayers twisted with respect to each other, and a single ABC stacked graphene trilayer on hBN. In all these cases, narrow bands emerge. The resulting high density of states enhances the role of interactions. We study the effect of the long-range electron-electron interaction on these narrow bands. A self consistent electrostatic potential does not modify significantly the shape and width of the bands in the three cases considered here, in contrast to the effect that such a potential has in twisted bilayer graphene.
