New Hampshire EV Rebates, Tax Credits, and Incentives
While New Hampshire doesn’t currently offer state EV incentives, many local utilities provide EV charger rebate programs to help lower costs, and federal tax credits create even more savings.
New Hampshire EV Rebates
New Hampshire does not currently offer a state-level EV rebate.
New Hampshire EV Tax Credits
New Hampshire does not have a state-wide EV tax credit, but residents may qualify for federal EV tax credits like the $7,500 clean vehicle tax credit for new vehicles, or the $4,000 used clean vehicle tax credit.
Additionally, the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit provides a federal tax credit up to $1,000 to offset costs related to installing an EV charger at home. Businesses can claim EV charger tax credits worth up to $100,000.
New Hampshire EV Charger Rebates
Charging your EV at home is both affordable and convenient. To achieve the best charging speed with your residential electrical infrastructure, it is essential to install a Level 2 EV charger with the help of a qualified EV charger installation professional.
One utility in New Hampshire offers EV charger rebate programs:
New Hampshire Electric Cooperative EV Charger Rebates
Residential customers can receive a rebate of $300 to help pay for a Level 2 charger. To qualify, you’ll need to install a separate meter for your EV charging and sign up for the cooperative’s EV charging rate, which will help you save even more on top of this great incentive.
Commercial customers are eligible for rebates, too. Under NHEC’s Commercial & Municipal Energy Savings Program, the utility will cover up to 75% of your Level 2 commercial EV charging project, with a cap of $2,500 per charging station and $5,000 per property to help pay for two stations.
EV Charging Rates in New Hampshire
To further help EV owners reduce charging costs by encouraging off-peak charging, utilities in New Hampshire offer time-of-use (TOU) electricity rates designed to lower the cost of charging EVs.
With New Hampshire’s average residential electric rate exceeding $0.23 per kWh, you can save a lot by charging your EV during off-peak hours when demand is low.
Eversource
Eversource offers two optional time-of-use programs for residential customers.
The first rate allows you to pay as little as $0.03 per kWh during off-peak hours between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. and $0.21 per kWh during the on-peak hours outside of this time.
The second rate comes with a slightly higher off-peak rate of $0.06 per kWh, from 7 p.m. to 1 p.m. the next day, and an on-peak rate of $0.19 per kWh.
Liberty Utilities
Liberty Utilities offers a time-of-use rate explicitly designed for EV owners. Charging between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. will cost you $0.18 per kWh. During the day, your rate will increase to $0.25 per kWh from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and peak at $0.56 per kWh during critical hours, which last from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.
New Hampshire Electric Cooperative
The New Hampshire Electric Cooperative offers two optional time-of-use rates. Both follow similar pricing schedules, with an on-peak price of $0.21 per kWh and an off-peak rate of $0.11 per kWh.
Under the utility’s whole-house time-of-day rate, the on-peak rate is effective from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. If you opt for the utility’s EV rate, you’ll pay the on-peak price from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and save at night. For this program, you’ll need a separate meter.
Unitil
With Unitil, you can save on EV charging by enrolling in a whole-house time-of-use rate or opting for an EV-only rate with a separate meter. Both rates follow the same schedule and have the same pricing model.
The highest you’ll ever pay is $0.28 per kWh between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. Your rate will drop to $0.11 per kWh from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. and be at its lowest between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., at $0.09 per kWh.

Visit the U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center Map of EV Charging Station Locations in New Hampshire, which can be sorted and filtered based on public access, charger type (Level 1, Level 2, DC Fast), and connector type (NACS, J1772, CCS, CHAdeMO).
Home Electrification Incentives in New Hampshire
Combining EV ownership with other electrification projects, such as upgrading your home with solar panels & battery storage, or investing in a heat pump, will help you save even more while reducing your environmental impact.
You may qualify for home electrification incentives through your local electricity provider in addition to the U.S. federal government. Scroll down to read tax credit and incentive details for specific home electrification technologies.
Battery Storage
The 25D Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit provides a 30% federal tax credit on the cost of new battery storage systems size 3kWh and larger.
Electrical Panels
The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit provides a federal tax credit for electrical panel upgrades needed to complete electrification projects like heat pumps and heat pump water heaters (up to 30% of project costs, capped at $600). The 25C tax credit can be used by renters, and homeowners making upgrades to their primary or secondary home.
Qualifying electrical panels must meet the standards of the National Electric Code (NEC) and have a capacity of 200 Amps or more. This means that your new/upgraded panel must be able to serve a load of at least 200 Amps, but you don’t need 200 Amps of incoming utility service. Smart panels may qualify if they allow you to serve a load of 200 Amps.
If you’re claiming 25D for a residential solar or battery storage project and the installation required you to upgrade your main panel, you may be able to apply 25D to electrical panel costs as well.
Heat Pumps & Heat Pump Water Heaters
The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit also applies to heat pumps and heat pump water heaters. A 30% federal tax credit is available (capped at $2,000 dollars). Eligible technologies must meet certain energy efficiency requirements.
Solar Panels
The 25D Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit also provides a 30% federal tax credit on the cost of photovoltaic (PV) solar panel systems.
