There is evidence that some states have taken steps to reduce electric vehicle (EV) registration fees, though such cases are relatively rare compared to states increasing or imposing additional fees.
- Montana has a provision to reduce electric vehicle registration fees by 30 percent starting in 2028 to relieve the tax burden on in-state EV owners, according to legislative bill B. 55. However, this fee reduction is scheduled for the future, beginning in 2028, not immediate.
- Most other states currently impose additional or new registration fees for EVs and plug-in hybrids, often varying annually and ranging from around $30 to $400 per year, typically added on top of traditional vehicle registration fees. There is no clear indication in the available data that any states have recently decreased their EV registration fees outright.
In summary, while many states have introduced or increased EV registration fees, Montana stands out with a planned significant fee reduction starting in 2028. Otherwise, current data do not show states actively decreasing their EV registration fees at present.
