New Hampshire EV Incentives: Full Breakdown for 2026
Annual registration fee: New Hampshire charges EV owners an extra $100/year on top of standard registration, meant to replace the gas tax revenue EVs don't pay. This is a recurring annual cost, not one-time — worth weighing against any purchase rebate over your ownership period.
Registration fee source: Tax Foundation, "Electric Vehicle Tax Treatment by State, 2026" (published Aug 2026, data as of July 2026).
New Hampshire does not offer a state-level EV tax credit, rebate, or sales tax exemption (as the state has no general sales tax). EV buyers in New Hampshire rely on the federal IRS credit only. However, Eversource NH and Liberty Utilities offer utility-level EV rebates and incentive programs.
Before October 1, 2025, New Hampshire EV buyers could get a federal credit of up to $7,500 for new EVs and $4,000 for used EVs. That credit has now expired for new purchases.
Federal EV Tax Credit: What New Hampshire Buyers Need to Know (Expired Oct 2025)
The federal EV tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act (§30D) expired for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. It no longer applies to New Hampshire buyers purchasing in 2026, with one narrow exception (see below). Here's what the federal credit used to offer, and what still applies to you as a New Hampshire resident:
- New EV credit (expired): Was up to $7,500 for qualifying new battery electric vehicles bought before Oct 1, 2025.
- Used EV credit (expired): Was up to $4,000 for qualifying used EVs bought before Oct 1, 2025 from a licensed dealer, if the sale price was under $25,000.
- Income limits (new EV): $150,000 single / $225,000 head of household / $300,000 married filing jointly.
- Income limits (used EV): $75,000 single / $112,500 head of household / $150,000 married filing jointly.
- MSRP caps: $55,000 for sedans and wagons; $80,000 for SUVs, crossovers, vans, and trucks.
- Point-of-sale transfer: Since Jan 1, 2024, you can apply the credit as an instant dealer discount rather than waiting until tax filing.
Additional New Hampshire EV Programs & Utility Incentives
