Currently in MA and NH there is no EV fee, but it's bound to come sooner or later.

There was a NH law proposed a few years ago to have a tiered flat rate surcharge for registration based on miles driven, calculated from annual inspections. Pretty intrusive to many, and others complained that the state was billing them when they mostly drove on in-town local roads. Of course, if you drive only in town, you still pay the gas tax to the state. And yes, the flat rates seemed high compared to comparable gas use. It's a lot easier for many to pay $0.05/gallon than it is to write a check for $300 to register your car.
