TESLA OWNERS CLUB
NEW ENGLAND

On September 11th, 2023, the NHDOT held a webinar on  NEVI – National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure NH. Discussed was phase 1 RFP (request for proposal) 9/11/23

The full 28 slide presentation is here: https://www.dot.nh.gov/sites/g/files/ehbemt811/files/inline-documents/pre-release-rfp-presentation-230911.pdf

TLDR;

CCS required by Federal Specs, NH will include NACS in their final RFP

Only 4 stations will be funded, so if Tesla installs/upgrades a 12 station site, only 4 will be federally funded. Funding may be spent on many aspects of the job – see slide 18

NH has >$17M to spend over 5 years

Initial RFP will be for 10-13 sites located every 50 miles and not more than a mile from the highway.

Sites must meet ADA requirements

Charging of 150 kW is a minimum

Some states are limiting each supplier as to the number of sites they may open. This would allow competition for $/kWh. NH does not yet have a limit.

Award of the bid is based on 30% cost of install and 70% on technical criteria, see slide 9.

Final award will be determined by April 2024.
