New Hampshire
NH5 / 10AdoptionNew Hampshire has no state EV purchase rebate. Several NH utilities (Unitil, Liberty, NHEC, Eversource) offer residential Level 2 charger rebates or installation incentives. New Hampshire has not adopted Advanced Clean Cars II and has no state ZEV sales mandate, but the proximity to Massachusetts and Vermont drives meaningful adoption in the southeast.

Time-of-use rates
Peak windows and prices are set by each utility and change at rate cases.
- Availability
- varies by utility
- Summary
- Residential time-of-use availability in New Hampshire varies by utility and has been the subject of ongoing PUC proceedings on rate design and advanced metering. Customers of Eversource NH, Unitil NH, Liberty Utilities (NH), and New Hampshire Electric Cooperative should check directly with their utility for current EV-specific or whole-house TOU options, as availability depends on metering infrastructure in the customer's service area.

Net metering and solar export
Matters if you pair rooftop solar with home charging.
- Status
- net billing
- Summary
- New Hampshire compensates customer-sited generation under a net-billing structure established by the NH Public Utilities Commission, with exports credited below the full retail rate (supply and transmission components plus a partial distribution credit). Customers should review the current PUC order and their utility's tariff for the applicable export credit and true-up mechanics.

Regulatory environment
New Hampshire has not adopted Advanced Clean Cars II and is not among CARB's Section 177 states; the state has no enacted ZEV sales mandate. NH's EV policy posture relies on federal NEVI funding and individual utility programs rather than emissions rulemaking. NHDOT is administering NEVI corridor funds; the program was paused federally in February 2025, then resumed in August 2025 under revised Federal Highway Administration guidance, with NH expected to bring proposals to Governor and Council in Summer 2026. In 2025, the NH House rejected HB 182, which would have banned EVs from indoor parking garages.
