HB 2866: electric vehicles; registration fee
Sponsor: Representative Cook, LD 7
Caucus & COW
Overview
Creates a $135 registration fee for a motor vehicle that is fueled exclusively by electricity and
has been issued an Alternative Fuel Vehicle Special Plate or Sticker by the Arizona
Department of Transportation (ADOT).
History
The registration fee for a motor vehicle is $8, except that the fee for motorcycles is $9. Motor
vehicle registration fees are deposited into the Arizona Highway User Revenue Fund by the
Director of ADOT. (A.R.S. §§ 28-2003, 2004).
A motor vehicle powered by alternative fuel initially registered in this state before January
1, 2023, was charged a reduced Vehicle License Tax. Alternative fuel vehicles initially
registered in this state after January 1, 2023, are now subject to the regular Vehicle License
Tax rate of $2.80 per $100 of assessed value for new vehicles based on 60% of the
manufacturer’s base retail price for its initial year of registration (A.R.S. §§ 28-5801, 5805).

Amendments
Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure
1. Makes it so the $135 fee is an annual fee for the registration of motor vehicles fueled by
alternative fuel and that are incapable of operating on any other type of fuel rather than a
registration fee for motor vehicles that are fueled exclusively by electricity and have been
issued an Alternative Fuel Vehicle Special Plate or Sticker by ADOT.
2. Corrects a technical change.
