One of the biggest challenge in owning an EV is good charging networks. Here in southern New England there is a lot. I will soon have (5) with 30-40 minutes of my house and over a dozen with in 1 hour.
Then there is Northern New England with big massive gaps between stations. As of right now there is no easily accessible DC faster chargers north of Bedford, NH in NH. The furthest northern EA location in Maine is just South of Portland. Fun fact Portland is closer to New York City then it is Fort Kent in northern Maine on the Canadian border.
Things however look like they are going to change a lot in New Hampshire and Vermont. Currently EA shows up and coming locations in southern New Hampshire in Manchester and Nashua. With the biggest news to me in central part of the state in West Lebanon (near 89 and 91) also getting one. This is a big deal since the only DC fast charger from Bedford, NH to Montpelier, VT are 2 CHAdeMO chargers. As anyone that has driven 89 in the winter knows that can be a very tough stretch of road.
Hopefully these new chargers will go online by this summer. If I hear anything on the West Lebanon location I will post it here.
