Any recommendations on getting a state inspection for NH?

It seems a lot of dealerships have like 1 guy that works on Mach-e and scheduling is a nightmare

Can't you just take it anywhere that does state inspections? I don't think it has to be someone who is familiar with Mach-e, or even electric vehicles to generate a passing report for your Mach-E.
It will definitely pass whatever emissions check/tests that NH wants to be performed, lol.

I've had several reputable dealerships tell me they can't do it, and I'm not brave enough to just drive it up to a Valvoline or Munro :D

Is there a Berlin City near you? They do free state inspections for any car in Vermont and NH. I've been taking all my cars there for years for inspections since it's free.

Grappone in Concord NH has one guy that works on Mach-E but I wouldn't think they need him for an inspection. (He's pretty good on working out Mach-E problems all the way up to replacing the battery).

Good to know. That's where mine is coming from.

Ours is coming through from Irwin in Laconia - and it was my plan to do all service and inspections there as I have with all my past and current vehicles. Actually I do 95% of my vehicle stuff at their QuickLane and I'd imagine even an EV won't be an issue (but I will always remind them to follow Ford guidelines for putting the vehicle on the lift - that's my biggest concern). Like other posts I'm not sure why this vehicle would be any different from an inspection standpoint - if anything it's easier (no emissions, no exhaust system that could be rusted out, etc).

For my own edification, could I ask for details regarding the difficulty around the inspection for the MME. Some states, like CA, do not have state inspections, but we do have emissions testing for ICE vehicles. I do know what a state inspection is, since my wife used to live in NY. How does the MME or a BEV complicate that inspection? Appreciate the input so I can learn. Who knows, I may (hopefully) move out of Kalifornia and go somewhere else.

7 years of EV driving and inspections, its a breeze, just like a gas car but less components to inspect. Lights, brakes, tires, that is about it, usually in and out in 5min with a chuckle from the guy "what I am supposed to inspect, its an EV..."
