Where to find electric vehicle charging stations in New Hampshire

Before you drive to the first charging station you find, you’ll want to consider a few different things. First, you’ll want to know what kind of charging equipment is available at each location, and which equipment will best fit your needs.

Level 1: The same as a 120-volt household outlet; a full charge can take over 24 hours. These chargers are best suited for plug-in hybrid models

Level 2: 220-volt chargers; a full charge takes somewhere between 4 and 8 hours; best for home charging

Level 3: Also known as DC fast charging; these can charge at a rate of up to 20 miles per minute. Level 3 chargers are best for traveling

Tesla Supercharger: Tesla brand DC fast chargers; these usually have more plugs per site available than other fast chargers

Most of the public chargers available in New Hampshire are Level 2 charging stations with only a handful of DCFC Level 3 stations. There are also some Tesla Superchargers scattered throughout the state.

There are a couple of websites you can use to help you track down EV chargers in New Hampshire:

How much does it cost to charge an electric car in New Hampshire?

Keep in mind that charging your electric vehicle at a public charging station isn’t always free. Here’s what your charging costs are on average in New Hampshire.

Most Level 1 chargers are free to use since they don’t charge very quickly. If you happen to find one that does charge, you’re looking at between $1.50 and $14 depending on how much of a charge you need.

As chargers get more efficient, however, the cost to use them goes up. There are plenty of free Level 2 chargers in New Hampshire, but the ones that do require payment are between $0.20 and $0.30 per kWh. This means you’ll pay between $8 and $40 depending on how much juice you need.

Most of the DC fast chargers in New Hampshire are free, but the ones that charge have costs similar to Level 2 chargers. Some charge by the minute and some charge by kWh, so you’ll need to pay attention to how your costs are being totaled before you plug in.

Another thing to consider is if you need to pay for parking while you’re charging your vehicle. This is especially true if you’re traveling and need to charge your vehicle overnight, like in a hotel parking lot.

New Hampshire electric vehicle incentives

$1,000 for battery electric vehicles (BEV)

$600 for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV)

$300 for electric motorcycles (EM)
