Alternative Fuel and Low-Speed Vehicles Annual Licensing Fees - July 2026

Motor Vehicle Division Bulletin: Annual Licensing Fees Effective July 1, 2026

Under Georgia law, certain Alternative Fuel Vehicles are subject to annual licensing fees. These fees must be adjusted each year according to a statutory formula based on the percentage increase or decrease in average motor vehicle fuel efficiency as measured by the United States Department of Energy. This preliminary fee adjustment shall then be multiplied by the increase or decrease in the Consumer Price Index percentage for the applicable year. The purpose of this bulletin is to announce the updated fee amounts. 

Effective July 1, 2026, the annual Alternative Fuel Vehicle licensing fees set out below must be paid at the time of initial registration or renewal of all qualifying vehicles. The following Alternative Fuel Vehicle fees will apply to all registrations that begin or have a renewal date between July 1, 2026, and June 30, 2027. 

• Commercial Motor Vehicle Fee: $357.98
• Non-Commercial Motor Vehicle Fee: $238.59
• Low-Speed Vehicle Fee: $111.64

These fees apply to the following vehicles: 

• Vehicles that operate solely on electricity, regardless of whether the owner uses an alternative fuel vehicle license plate. 
• Plug-in hybrid-electric or flex fuel vehicles (such as E-85), but only if those vehicles have elected an alternative fuel vehicle license plate. 

These fees do not apply to the following alternative fuel vehicles: 

• Vehicles that operate primarily on compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, or liquefied petroleum gas. 
• Hybrid-electric vehicles that are not plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles. 

Low-speed vehicles: 

• Low-speed vehicle fees are subject to the same formula for annual fuel economy adjustments as other alternative fuel vehicle fees. 
• “Low-speed vehicle” means any four-wheeled vehicle whose top speed attainable in one mile is greater than 20 miles per hour but not greater than 25 miles per hour on a paved level surface and which is manufactured or converted to comply with standards based upon those federal motor vehicle safety standards for low-speed vehicles set forth in 49 C.F.R. Section 571.500, as amended. 

For More Information: The Alternative Fuel Vehicle licensing fees are published annually and posted to the Department of Revenue website each year.
