defining electric vehicle charging station and charging a fee for annual testing by the division of weights and measures.

SB 150 defines "electric vehicle charging station" as any device that transfers electricity to electric vehicles from an external source, meeting specific technical standards. It requires charging station operators to pay a $175 annual fee per meter for testing and certification by the Division of Weights and Measures. The bill creates a new state position for a "registered electric vehicle service technician" within the Department of Agriculture, Markets, and Food to handle this testing. The fee revenue and costs for the new position are funded through the Agricultural Products Regulatory Fund, with estimated annual revenue starting at $25,165 in 2026. This directly affects businesses operating electric vehicle charging stations in New Hampshire.
