STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twenty Three
AN ACT relative to collecting road tolls on the output of separately metered electric vehicle chargers.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 New Section; Levy of Road Toll on Electronic Vehicle Charging Electricity. Amend RSA 260 by inserting after section 32-c the following new section:
260:32-d Levy of Road Toll on Electronic Vehicle Charging Electricity. There is hereby imposed a road toll on electronic vehicle charging electricity from separately metered electronic vehicle charging stations, as defined in RSA 236:132, on the motor fuel equivalent gallon, as defined in RSA 259:58-b, for such electricity at the rate per gallon established in RSA 260:32. The electricity road toll shall be subject to the exemptions provided for by RSA 260:32, I-V and the refund provisions as provided in RSA 260:47, RSA 260:52-b, and RSA 260:52-e, and shall be licensed for and collected as an alternative fuel under RSA 260:36-e.
2 Motor Fuel Equivalent Gallon. Amend RSA 259:58-b to read as follows:
259:58-b Motor Fuel Equivalent Gallon. "Motor fuel equivalent gallon" means the volume of alternative fuel or output of electricity it takes to equal the energy content of one gallon of gasoline or special fuel. The commissioner of safety shall adopt in rules under RSA 260:57 the applicable conversion rates for motor fuel equivalent gallons for compressed natural gas, liquid natural gas, [and] propane, and electric vehicle charging electricity based on nationally recognized standards for weights and measures.
