New Hampshire electricity rates for EV owners
At about 23.8¢/kWh, New Hampshire has the 9th-highest residential rate in the country. The Northeast leans on natural gas piped through constrained lines, so winter price spikes and dense, aging grids push rates above average.
New Hampshire is also a deregulated (retail-choice) market: you pick your own electricity plan, and the spread between plans is often wider than the gap between states. The 23.8¢ average hides plans well above and below it, so check your actual plan before trusting any average.
Charge overnight to pay less: scheduling your charging for off-peak hours, and several New Hampshire plans include discounted or free overnight windows, can drop your real cost per mile well below the state average. Our Time-of-Use calculator does that math.
