| Gas | $42.50 | — |
| Plug-in hybrid | $142.50 | +$100.00 |

The EV-specific line items

Kansas registration is $39–$49 by weight (including modernization and county service fees) plus small statutory surcharges — but the real cost is the annual county personal property tax on your vehicle's value, collected with registration. Effective January 2026, EVs pay $165, plug-in hybrids $100, and conventional hybrids a new $70 fee.
