Alternative Fuel Vehicle Registration Fees

Electric vehicle (EV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) owners and owners of vehicles powered by a fuel other than gasoline, diesel, electricity, natural gas, or propane are required to pay an additional annual registration fee. A six-month registration option with fees at lower amounts is also available. Annual fee amounts as of April 1, 2025 are as follows:

Registration Fee
EV $143.25
PHEV $62.25
HEV $24.25

Use the Utah State Tax Commissioner Motor Vehicle Portal Fee Estimator to estimate total cost of registration and fees.

The additional registration fee paid by EVs and vehicles fueled exclusively by a fuel other than gasoline, diesel, natural gas, or propane must be equal to the maximum annual road usage charge. EV, PHEV, and HEV drivers can choose to pay the flat fee or enroll in Utah’s Road Usage Charge Program to pay for road usage based on the number of miles they drive, up to the amount of the flat fee. See the Road Usage Charge Program website for more information.
