Wattfull Verdict

ND is viable but assumption-sensitiveEstimated state layer

Next best action: run EV or Solar with your ZIP and household assumptions.

The state backdrop is neither weak nor decisive. Your actual utility, mileage, and charging setup matter more than the headline score.

Why

- Electricity is about 11.85 cents/kWh and gas is about $3.08/gal.

- There is no meaningful state EV incentive in this seed layer.

- Net metering remains supportive for solar-oriented households.

Caveats

- Cold climate pressure matters more for EV range and winter charging.

- This page is state-level context, not a utility-specific or roof-specific quote.

What would change this

- Higher annual miles usually improve EV economics faster than the state score suggests.

- A utility rate materially above the state average can weaken the result.

- Policy updates can move the recommendation quickly.
