You will be astonished to learn (ha!) that New Hampshire is the laggard, by a long short, among Northeastern states in a ranking of how welcoming and receptive we are to electric vehicles.
As I learned from this Canary Media report, the Brookings Institutes looked at ways various states promote vehicle electrification and gave each a score. At the top were, surprise, California and Massachusetts, while the South and much of the Mountain time zone did poorly. New Hampshire is tied with Tennessee and Alaska; even North Dakota did better (oh, the shame).
New Hampshire has long been a foot-dragger on vehicle electrification, notably on our shortage of public charging. It’s part of state leaders’ weird fixation on fossil fuels, of which we produce none.
